Japanese Book

Megan brought me back an awesome book from Japan - one that teaches you how to wrap everything ( and I mean everything) in beautiful fabric.

And like most Japanese books, the instructions are visual so my inability to read Japanese won't matter. Though I do wonder what the title of this book is.... the subtitle awesomely says "The furoshiki is functional and stylish. Your life becomes happy if you use it every day."

Here's the cover:
