It also introduces products and initiatives from the natural cosmetics brand "LUSH", the farm "NASU FARM VILLAGE" run by model Saeko, the confectionery manufacturer "Kashidokoro Hatada Honpo" from Ehime, where the author is from, and the department store "Matsuya Ginza", a symbol of Ginza, Tokyo.

In addition, the book also introduces the knots of Korean furoshiki "bojagi," which is attractive for its beautiful knots.
This is a comprehensive book that also summarizes how to dye furoshiki, using coffee dyeing as an example.

[Table of Contents]
CHAPTER 1: My encounter with furoshiki
CHAPTER 2: Making life comfortable
CHAPTER 3: Being close to people
CHAPTER 4: Wrapping in furoshiki
CHAPTER 5: Creating a piece that is uniquely my own

Furoshiki can be used to wrap anything, and you can untie the knots and start over as many times as you like.
It can take any shape, and when you unfold it, it returns to a piece of cloth.

Since I discovered furoshiki,
I have been able to relax and feel comfortable.
It's because small things have become more convenient,
but more than anything, I have become able to think about things more flexibly,
and my mindset has improved.
