Furoshiki
''Furoshiki'' (風呂敷) are a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth traditionally used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods. Furoshiki began to be used in the middle of the Nara period, in traditional Japanese baths (Onsen). To prevent a mix up of the bathers' clothes, the removed clothing was tied up in Furoshiki. Later the system of folding spread and was used by traders to protect their goods or gifts.
Currently, furoshiki are made of different fabrics, including silk, cotton, rayon and nylon. And though this art remains popular in Japan, its use has declined because of the modern high demand for plastic bags. In recent years the Japanese Ministry of the Environment has organized several campaigns to promote the use of furoshiki again, to ensure environment protection in Japan and worldwide.
==Origin==
Although possibly dating back as far as the Nara period, the name, meaning "bath spread", derives from the Edo period practice of using them to bundle clothes while at the sentō (public baths;public ''furo''). Before becoming associated with public baths, ''furoshiki'' were known as ''hirazutsumi'' (平包), or flat folded bundle. Eventually, the ''furoshiki''’s usage extended to serve as a means for merchants to transport their wares or to protect and decorate a gift.
