When you select a gift, you try and guess what the reaction of the other will be, and always look for the most relatable yet surprising present you could find. What can brighten their day? How can you make their heart full?

In Japan, the art of gifting is a profound gesture, woven with intention and history. Furoshiki is a timeless treasure born around 710 B.C. This traditional wrapping cloth started with a humble purpose: to protect kimonos in bathhouses. Over time, its role evolved, making it the emblematic wrapping method that is considered a kind and considerate gesture.

Here's a little tradition to ponder: In Japan, the person who receives a gift can either return the Furoshiki cloth to its sender or keep it for themselves. The recipient can always choose to keep the cloth to then use it to wrap a gift to someone else in the future.
