A few days ago Igor sent me a link to a video where a Japanese guy with a few simple knots, created by a square of cloth bags surprising purpose of various forms. At first the thing I was not particularly impressed, it is about the video I was struck by the brilliance of the object combined with an extraordinary ease of implementation. This sport is accessible by a square of fabric are called in Japanese furoshiki and the modern revival of an ancient way to carry items that appear to date back several centuries ago. Actually affects the relevance of this ancient object, in a period where perhaps we should all strive to meet our environment more firmly. The country where I live is still very hungry for consumerism and the gray period after the years of communism is very difficult to clear the idea of respect for the environment: for years under the plastic bags were a rarity and in some represented as an icon of wealth and abundance. Here it was spending in the markets in the old way, with a bag of cloth or the famous and ubiquitous авоська (avos'ka), a sort of network spending. Today in the era of supermarkets and an abundance of more or less misleading is not easy to make an (apparent) step back and go shopping with the retina. The
furoshiki, could be an alternative way to raise awareness of the issue to a label that combines practicality undeniable even a touch flirtatious and fashionable! Here
