Lonely Planet review for Musubi
Before shopping bags, Japanese carried their bentō (boxed lunch) and packages in elegant wrapping cloths called furoshiki, and this dainty shop and workshop both sells the cloths and gives lessons in how to use them (email info@kyoto-musubi.com for info about lessons). Modern-day uses for furoshiki include handbags and wine bottle carriers, and believe it or not they make nice table covers, too. The owner has even written a book about it in English.
