The Japanese Bag That Will Save Us All

Again, both Ping Magazine and the Japanese design community in general, have impressed the heck out of us. This recent feature is about the “Furoshiki,” which is essentially a large, square cloth that’s folded and arranged into a sack, and is used to carry groceries. Sort of like those cloth ones they sell at Whole Foods or Wild Oats, except they look much bigger and you won’t suffer the polarizing stigma of carrying one down the center isle of the House of Representatives.
