Furoshiki

Furoshiki cloth has been used to wrap things up in ancient Japan. Long time ago, people used these "furoshiki" when they went to a public bath, like a bath mat today, and undressed on it. After taking a bath, they wrapped towels and their wet clothes in the "furoshiki" cloth to carry home. People use these "furoshiki" to hang them on walls as decorations.
