In this book Gift Wrapping with Textiles: Stylish Ideas from Japan written by Chizuko Morita, Shuichi Yamagata, and Kirsten Mclvor the author created her own style of wrapping with textiles that's very contemporary, yet preserves the techniques of the centuries-old Japanese tradition of wrapping for gift-giving. This book gives an insight into Japanese culture where it is customary to put as much care into the wrapping of a gift as into choosing the gift itself. The way a gift is wrapped and the material in which it is presented are considered expressions of the giver's feeling toward the recipient.
Now, using techniques that have been part of Japanese tradition for generations, Chizuko Morita offers readers innovative and unique ideas for using the Japanese art of wrapping with cloth in very contemporary ways. This book gives an idea on how to attractively wrap gifts for wine, books, CDs, pictures, posters, balls, and boxed items of all sizes, and much, much more. It is indeed a must have book and I am impressed with it and would highly recommend it.
