Learn how to use a single cloth and a couple of knots to create ways to carry water bottles, books, groceries, and other objects.
With origins stretching very far back in Japan, the furoshiki is a multi-purpose cloth that, with a few simple knots, can be used to carry almost anything it can wrap around -- books, bottles, watermelons, groceries, and other objects. It also makes for effective and stylish wrapping cloth when giving gifts to others. Currently experiencing a renaissance in Japan as a way of avoiding plastic bags and being environmentally sound, the furoshiki's versatility makes it possible to safely carry and transport things everywhere. Only two knots are necessary to unlock this skill.
