Gift wrapping [Washi Japanese paper]

The motifs of washi paper have a deeper meaning. Here’s what the ones we use to wrap your gifts mean:

CRANES: Longevity, good fortune, peace, and healing. The Japanese red-crowned crane, specifically, is an emblem of the imperial household and brings good luck and happiness.

KABUKI: Kabuki is a traditional Japanese form of theater that originated in the early 17th century. It is a reflection of Japanese cultural values, societal norms, and historical narratives performed by a male-only cast.

KANJI: Practitioners dedicate years to mastering the art of Kanji calligraphy on washi paper - it is an expression of Japan’s cultural and artistic heritage and conveys deep meanings such as wisdom, poetry, and philosophy.

WAVE: The iconic wave pattern known as "Seigaiha" or "Seigainami," has been used in Japanese art and textiles for centuries. It symbolizes the ebb and flow of life, continuity, and harmonious balance.
