A furoshiki is a piece of cotton fabric used in Japan since the 17th Century (its name refers to the art of tying). A furoshiki fabric square is used to wrap anything and everything: watermelon, saké, shoes.. and of course books.. Furoshikis are a good way to carry everyday objects, recycle fabric and replace plastic.

Winter
And the sun got lost too.
The sun is finally back,
and the boat found its way.
We can be cyanotype chemists again.
