Introduction

Omiyage—the Japanese word for gift—is an enchanting selection of small crafts, each created with an elegance of style that is unmistakably Japanese.

This beautiful book invites you to discover the Japanese art of gift giving. In forty-three original designs, celebrated crafts author Kumiko Sudo combines surprisingly simple techniques with exquisite colors and fabrics.

  • Beautiful color photographs capture the delicacy and detail that make each gift unique.
  • All projects are presented with complete, step-by-step directions and easy-to-follow drawings.
  • Simple origami-in-fabric techniques transform scraps of cotton or silk into irresistible gifts.

Author Kumiko SudoFrom the Author

A Gift from the Heart

Enter the world of things tiny but delightful. Since early times, the Japanese have believed that God lives in all things, no matter how small. It is in the most intricate of details that the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship is most evident. We strive to make our work perfect down to the smallest detail, for it is through our arts that we celebrate life, honor nature and offer thanks to God. A gift made from fabric is the most intimate I can give. It is made with the hands, but the good wishes it carries come only from the heart.
