Planet-Friendly Wrapping: Folding Furoshiki for Sustainable Gift-Giving
Learn how you can incorporate the sustainable practice of furoshiki fabric wrapping into the upcoming holiday season at the second of our two-part workshop series! Japanese Studies Librarian Tomoko Kitayama Yen and student librarian Mizuki Giffin will provide context into the history and significance of furoshiki in Japanese culture, and will then facilitate a workshop on the folding of furoshiki fabric to be used as gift-wrapping.
Participants who attend the first workshop in this series can use the furoshiki fabric that they created. You may also bring your own fabric (roughly 50 cm x 50 cm), or purchase furoshiki for 10% off from from our partners at the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre to be picked up at the workshop. Furoshiki orders must be placed before Friday, November 25th at 5pm. Please contact us at asian.library@ubc.ca if you are interested in pre-ordering and for the discount code.
