The Japanese kanji for “wrap (包)” represents a mother carefully holding her child still in her womb. In this sense, gift wrapping has been regarded as an activity of care, protection, safety, and motherly love in Japanese culture.
Professor Eva Nagase will demonstrate various paper wrapping techniques from Japan, providing historical and cultural background. Use these techniques and really make your holiday gifts special.
