Collection: Celebratory Gift Envelope (Noshibukuro)

Traditional Japanese Etiquette

In Japan, customs surrounding gift-giving have long been valued,
and even today, though simplified, they are still practiced in daily life.
Celebratory noshi envelopes are used for joyous occasions such as weddings and other celebrations.
As a matter of courtesy, it is good to always be mindful of proper gift-giving etiquette.

How to Choose Correctly

First, check the shape of the cord on the noshi envelope.
For wedding celebrations, choose “musubi-kiri,” and for general celebrations or thank-you gifts, choose “cho-musubi.”
The “musubi-kiri” knot, which cannot be easily untied, is for weddings, while the “cho-musubi” knot, which can be retied, is for occasions that may happen many times.
If you ever find yourself wondering, “Which one should I use?” simply remembering the meaning will make it easy to decide.
