Author Talk with Megumi Inouye

Join us on July 13th, 2024 at 2 p.m. at the Central Park Library as author Megumi Inouye discusses her new book T"he Soul of Gift Wrapping: Creative Techniques for Expressing Gratitude, Inspired by the Japanese Art of Giving". This delightful book combines inventive wrapping designs, inspiring personal essays, and step- by-step techniques to invite readers to transform the act of wrapping into a practice in gratitude.

Drawing on the gift-giving traditions of her Japanese heritage, Inouye explores how the act of giving a thoughtfully wrapped gift can be a creative, caring act for both the giver and the receiver. Using recycled and repurposed materials, Inouye’s approach inspires readers to think intentionally about the presentation of every gift, whether it's a tip for an unseen hotel housekeeper, a simple gift of fresh fruit for a neighbor, or a special birthday gift for a beloved family member. Detailed step-by-step photos teach Inouye's artful approach to every aspect of wrapping and guide readers in creating their own unique gift presentations.

After a lively discussion about her book, how to practice gratitude, mindfulness, and sustainability in all kinds of gift giving, as well as the history and culture of this practice, there will be a short workshop where participants will be able practice creating boxes from recycled materials as their own acts of intentional consideration.
