Noshi (2019, by Katsuji Wakisaka)
The ornament used in celebrations or on gifts is called "noshi".
However, it was a noshi abalone,
a piece of thinly sliced, elongated dried abalone which is a symbol of longevity.
Today, only the word "noshi" remains and is still in use.
As a motif, it was also used as a celebration
on many things such as kimono and fisherman's flags.

Noshi (2019 par Katsuji Wakisaka)
Les décorations qui accompagnent célébrations et
échanges de cadeaux sont appelés noshi.
Cependant, à l’origine, ce mot représentait la longévité.
L'appelation Noshiawabi était utilisée pour
nommer les fines lamelles d'ormeau séché.
Il ne reste plus que le mot ""noshi""
toujours usité de nos jours.
Il est utilisé en tant que motif sur divers objets
comme les kimonos ou bien les drapeau de pêcheurs
car il est synonyme de bons présages.
