Eazywraps are based on traditional Furoshiki, which are Japanese in origin. Originally called “tsutsumi" which means bundle/package/present .

Furoshiki can be broken down into two words: "furo" meaning bath and "shiki" meaning spread.

Since 700 AD, until the disposable lifestyle that developed in the mid-20th century, it was used to wrap and carry clothes and other personal belongings to and from public baths. People would place their clothes and items on the Furoshiki, tie the corners together, then carry the bundle on their backs or over their shoulders. It was then used to stand on when getting dressed, the original version of the towelling ‘bath sheets’ we use today.

Furoshiki are made from silk, cotton, or other materials, and their designs can be plain or intricate, depending on the intended purpose and the owner's preferences.

Furoshiki’s eco-friendly qualities have gained international popularity in the 21st century as a stylish and environmentally friendly way to wrap gifts, carry items, and reduce the use of disposable packaging, with the added versitility it offers in terms of wrapping awkward shapes.

Traditionally, when the wrapping cloth is used to wrap a gift, the recipient of the gift returns the Furoshiki back to the giver of the gift. 

Today you will find Furoshiki in shops and museums around the world.

Using Furoshiki is more than just wrapping a gift or carrying your possessions, you are enveloping objects with meaning and thoughtful purpose.
