A rope almost deserves to be unpacked with the same care with which it is later tied.

Furoshiki (風呂敷) is the traditional Japanese art of wrapping and carrying one's belongings in cloth.

For many rope enthusiasts, it has become an elegant and practical way to store Reb, hardware and small pieces of equipment on.

Whether you want to protect your favourite ropes, organise equipment in your rope bag, or give a special rope as a gift, a Furoshiki is both practical and beautiful.

“Some pack their ropes in a plastic bag. Others make it part of the ritual.”
