wrapping cloth
A traditional square cloth used for wrapping and carrying items, similar to a 風呂敷 or 袱紗. Often associated with formal or ceremonial use.
I wrap the lunch box in a wrapping cloth.
This wrapping cloth is made of silk.
袱紗 is a small square silk cloth used in tea ceremony or for wrapping money/gifts, typically more delicate and formal than a 平包み.
Standard kanji spelling with regular okurigana.
Variant using the older kanji 裹; rarely seen in modern usage.
Irregular okurigana usage; the reading ひらづつみ is still intended, but this spelling is uncommon.
Compound of 平 (ひら, 'flat') and 包み (つつみ, 'wrapping'). The reading ひらづつみ reflects rendaku voicing of つつみ.
