This is the traditional Japanese way to wrap a gift. In formal situations, we use a wrapping cloth called a furoshiki like this.
When you hand a present, you should unwrap it in front of the person who you are giving it to. If you give a present without unwrapping, the person, who gets it, will get the impression that you are demanding a return gift using the furoshiki.
This custom is becoming outdated. I think elderly people who are eighty and over follow it.
I think this because my father-in-law, who is eighty nine, follows this custom, but my parents, who are in their seventies, don't know about it.
