×Traditional Japanese gift ornament “noshi”
In Japan, there is a custom of attaching an ornament called “noshi” to important gifts. Noshi uses the color and shape of paper strings called “mizuhiki” and letters to convey a message to the recipient.
[Types of mizuhiki]
A. Red and white “chomusubi” (bowknot): Used for any auspicious event that may occur over and over again (childbirths, awards, etc.).
B. Red and white “musubikiri”: A knot that is difficult to untie, used for auspicious events that should only occur once (weddings, recovery from illness, etc.).
C. Black and white “musubikiri”: Used for funerals and condolences.
[Letters written above mizuhiki]
The purpose of the gift is written (such as congratulatory and thank-you gifts). The color and shape of the mizuhiki will generally convey the purpose of the gift, so there may be no need to write anything above it.
[Letters written below mizuhiki]
The gift-giver's name is written. If the gift is from multiple people, write in joint names, multiple names may be written. The name of a corporation or organization may be written as well.

[How to apply noshi]
・Inside noshi (“uchi-noshi”): The noshi is applied on the item, and then covered with wrapping paper. More people in Japan prefer uchi-noshi. At our company, we use uchi-noshi as a basic rule.
・Outside noshi (“soto-noshi”): The item is covered with wrapping paper, and then the noshi is applied over it. This is preferred when presenting at ceremonies or thank-you parties.

Message Card
The designs were chosen from Hokusai's pattern book called "Hokusai Moyogahu". The patterns in the book were all designed by Hokusai and originally for the kimono. All of them are very sophisticated and mostly represent each season. Adachi carefully picked a couple of patterns for each season and designed them onto greeting cards.
Please leave your message in the note column if you wish to add your original message.
Luxurious message plates [optional fee-based service]
Your message will be printed on a golden plate (made of acrylic). The plate will be pasted on the front side of the frame below the ukiyo-e. This is recommended for gifts to companies.
