Win a furoshiki by An Astute Assembly

We have a beautiful Japanese folding cloth to give away to one lucky reader.
For the unintiated, Furoshiki translates literally as “bath blanket” – this simple, understated square piece of cloth was once used in Japan to wrap one’s clothes in while taking a dip at the public baths. But for more than a thousand years, it has taken on many functions: wrapping gifts, carrying things, bundling items, protecting precious contents, using it to sit on...
Design duo Yuka O’Shannessy and her business partner Yoko Shimoyama have introduced this ancient practice to New Zealanders through their business, An Astute Assembly (AAA) and we have one beautiful 100 per cent cotton folding blanket to bestow on one lucky Dish reader.
The cloth comes with a set of instructions, introducing several ways you can tie it, depending on what you’d like to use it for – but designer Yuka says once you start tying, you’ll probably discover more yourself.
