bottom corners behind
the back of the bottle
and again to the front,
where you tie another
double knot.

Place the furoshiki cloth on the table, face down, and the bottles mid-
distance between the horizontal diagonal and the bottom corner

the top.
This furoshiki is easy to
carry without any other
