Maps to endpapers. First published in Japanese (Nihon no Dento Pakkeji), 1965; this is the 2nd Printing of the First English translation of 1967, also printed in Japan. Aesthetics in daily life. A visual delight of creative, imaginative designs arising from pragmatic needs of packaging --- a humble necessity transformed into arts and crafts, and then elevated to high art. Here, literally, "wrap", means to do up as a parcel, pack or bundle goods, in kerchiefs (furoshiki), paper, twine, and/or other materials. 223 exhibits photographed by Michikazu Sakai; each with commentary by Hideyuki Oka. Fine copy on the art of living.
