How to Fold Clothes Like the Japanese
Folding your cloths the Japanese way is an easy-to-perform method (refer to Resources for a video of this technique). This method only works for shirts; there is not a Japanese method yet for pants folding.
Your clothes will look professionally folded and take less space since the fold makes the clothes thinner.
Following the proper steps, you will have a perfect, neat fold for your clothes and the convenience of fitting more clothes into your chest of drawers.
