The Japanese have traditionally used a furoshiki, a cloth about one meter square, as a handy way to wrap things. The furoshiki is now experiencing the revival. More and more people are using them as a bag or even as a headwear, and there are classes available to learn how to wrap things efficiently and attractively with a furoshiki.
Yuriko Koike, the Minister of the Environment, has been promoting use of the furoshiki as a means to save energy and encourage environmental conservation. This segment introduces the revival of the long-neglected furoshiki.
