The Art of Giving

The beauty of Japanese gift culture.

In Japan, a present is rarely handed over bare. It is wrapped with care, and a noshi — a small folded paper ornament — is placed on top, turning an object into a message.

That custom is where this site takes its name. Okurimono (贈り物) is the Japanese word for something chosen for someone, and given with intention.

For the person who matters to you — or as a quiet reward for yourself — send something chosen in Japan.
