I am glad it worked out well for you and I hope your daughter is the talk of the school now! Carrying a little bit of asian mystique can always be exciting.

I also made a furoshiki for my daughter to take to school as a book bag, and one to hold her dance shoes (to keep them from scuffing each other). Thanks so much for the BEST post on furoshikis and on Kakefuda! You rock!

Hey Cam,Thx 4 posting this vid! I've been watching it obsessively for about 6 weeks, after I discovered furoshiki for bento. That started my obsession. I even contacted Kakefuda and have ordered 3 furoshikis from them. Hidetaka is very nice and helpful. Way expensive (still choking)but wanted to support the artisan enterprise. Domo Arigato!

"THE" original green reusable shopping bag !!

I don't think so... if you bought the standard cotton "furoshiki" you should have no trouble. Maybe the material you purchased was not big enough? Hmmm.... could the material you have be starched? Tried washing it to soften it up?

I was in Japan in September and I bought several of these cloths. However, I am having a hard time making one - I think it's because the fabric is too thick. Is there an ideal cloth size and fabric to use.Thank you,

You can tie them any way you like, just don't tie them so that they slip when bearing weight. And because the material is voluminous, even if you tie a regular knot, you can still work them loose. Have fun! Be creative. |
