About this activity
The art of furoshiki does not only provide a beautifully and originally wrapped present – the wrapping itself makes a wonderful present and can be used in the future by the receiver for many purposes. Furoshiki can also be used to carry items on daily basis.
The tour will begin at the Fushimi station and head to a nearby shop for Furoshiki fabric shopping. Here, you will be able to buy many sheets of any fabric you like. After shopping, you will go to Nagonoya and have class.
During the class, your guide will explain to you regarding how to choose the appropriate fabric and help you pick the most suitable size and color.
At Nagonoya, your teacher will tell you about the origins and history of Furoshiki and the etiquette that comes with using it properly. You guide will then learn several ways to wrap various objects. You will be able to wrap bottles, books, and other more complicated objects by the end of this class.

Reviews
Janai was easy to find in the train station. We walked to a department store since it was Golden Week and the usual store was closed. She took us to different vendors to find the cloth we liked and have choices. She was very helpful. We went to a guesthouse to use the table to wrap and tie. It was a fun tour! You can spend a little or lots of money on the cloth. The cafe on the first floor of the guesthouse had a great egg sandwich and drinks.
