This book Gift Wrapping: Creative Ideas from Japan is written by Kunio Ekiguchi who has a successful and varied background in such traditional Japanese crafts as doll making and paper craft. The author draws on his extensive knowledge of this Japanese tradition and his experience in other forms of paper craft, including doll making, to create sixty-six imaginative gift wrappings. This book provides an in-depth knowledge to wrap your gifts and not only that you gain knowledge on how to wrap your gift with the subtleness found in so many things Japanese.
There are numerous techniques provided in this book which I consider are very handy so-much-so that you don't even need boxes for most of the numerous wrappings all can be done with the use of papers. This book is well illustrated and can be easily understood along with plenty of pictures for easy installation and guidance. You also come to know the traditional wrapping techniques applied by the Japanese people which allow you to know their traditions behind the wrappings.
