A simple, clever, and beautiful Japanese craft!
My 15 year old daughter and I had a lot of fun learning and practicing furoshiki wrapping. They taught us the knots used for furoshiki and many different useful wraps. It is such a simple craft that is also clever and beautiful. They also had a nice selection of small new furoshiki wraps we could choose a souvenir from. I’m so glad we went! It was a delightful experience.
Operator response
Thank you very much for the review! It is such a pleasure to hear that your family enjoyed our furoshiki class! :)
