SOU・SOU Diary /Staff's Diaries
“Gift “Shin-Gyo-Kusa” / Yu Terada”
Hello everyone.
This is terada from the staff.
Big or small, our daily lives are full of “gifts”.
For example, the “Ame-chan” that an old lady in Osaka gives you is a great gift!
Gift culture exists all over the world, but Japan has developed its own gift culture without exception.
So this time
[Terada's Gift Shin/Gyo/Kusa]
We will introduce the shape of various gifts.
(The commentary on Shingyokusa isplease check herePlease take a look. )
◆Gift “Shin”◆
A wedding gift for Childhood Friend friend whose family is close.
from meCute gift envelopes featuring SOU・SOU TextileI wrapped Celebration in a gift box.
Celebration from his parents was a lacquered tray called a hirobuta, with Celebration Set on it.

Put Family Crest, Fukusa, on top of it.

Furoshiki wrapped in a double layer.
This Celebration is brought to your home on a lucky day, the morning of, about a week before the wedding.


Even though they are usually close friends, this is the only time when the two families change.
It may seem like a formality, but I felt that this conveyed my heartfelt Celebration.
(This Celebration may be unique to the Kansai region.)
◆Gift “Gyo”◆
"Noshi" appears as a very common gift.
There are various types and uses of Noshi, and this is also a gift culture unique to Japan.
SOU・SOU also offers original noshi decorated with Textile!
I think that noshi is a very convenient gift that can add a more detailed feeling to the gift.
In a slightly formal scene, "Greetings" is a gift for tea teachers and superiors.
If you want to give a little thank you... In such a case, write "Matsunoha" in the sense of "only from the heart".

"Matsunoha" seems to be an expression that it is so small that it is wrapped in pine needles.
It is a rich expression that is humble yet considerate.
◆Gift “Grass”◆
Having said that, I still want to feel free to give small daily gifts. We often hear from customers who are looking for gifts at SOU・SOU that they don't want to make the other person worry.
Gift Packaging materials is available, but I personally recommend Gift Packaging materials using furoshiki or Handkerchief!
The reason why furoshiki is a furoshiki is that it makes the most of “wrapping” to give the whole wrapping as a gift!
Made by Sasaki Sake Brewery which is sold in an original package to commemorate the 20th anniversary of SOU・SOUJurakudai Junmai GinjoFuroshikiwrapped in

Maybe you can feel the convenience of furoshiki, which you don't usually use.
In this Era, simplicity is the mainstream, but it is a gift Heartwarming to each scene.
No matter how Era change, I want to enjoy this culture without changing my feelings for others!

There are many things that Terada-san writes that make me think, "I see..." or "I see...", and I'm always grateful! ^^Kashikoku Narimasu...Learning is important no matter how old you are...^^;

Thank you for your comment.
I'm also ignorant, and I always rely on the help of seniors around me and my mother.
Up and Down to become a woman who can do it with ease...? I'll do my best to make that happen!
Interesting and deep story, nice (^^)
Really, it's a culture that I want to cherish (о´∀`о)
I learned something♪
