Gifts

The holiday season already or becoming a quick memory, though the winter sees no sign of fading, and my work starting to its own pathetically slow way return back to "normal", I thought I would post this first post of the year, which contain images of the gifts for my relatives here.  The tradition of using a furoshiki (these ones bought at the 'furoshiki fair' in mitsukoshi department store) to wrap gifts is particularly appealing, at first on a visual level and on a recycling (reusability) factor (though I am not sure how many furoshiki, unlike unwanted christmas presents, are actually reused.  Perhaps the ones which are not so delightful are. I can definitely see that happening.
