Wrapping Instruction

There are many traditional wrapping methods. We introduce the most useful 4 or 5 methods. Please find below reference pictures on the left side photo gallery.

A: This is simple wrapping method called HIRA wrapping, meaning "flat" in Japanese.
B: The most basic wrapping methods are called OTSUKAI wrapping and KAKUSHI wrapping, which are respectively called "gift" and "hiding" in Japanese. These methods are suitable for wrapping square boxes. KAKUSHI wrapping is hiding the knot.
C: This method is useful to wrap spindly items like a small bottle or our 100g tea package. This is called BIN wrapping, meaning "bottle."
D: This method is useful to wrap round items or a few small items together, such as our snacks and candy. This is called SUIKA wrapping, meaning "watermelon."
