Lovely

I don't read this blog regularly, but I came upon this entry and think it's worth sharing. The shots of the furoshiki available for sale in this shop are gorgeous. Furoshiki are squares of fabric that the Japanese traditionally use to wrap lunch, gifts of food, or things they're taking to the baths. Basically, it's a beautiful alternative to a plastic bag, and as the blog points out - you can take your picnic lunch in it, then sit on it while you eat!


You can buy them here: http://furoshiki.com/home.php, which is also where I got the photo above.
