Small gift envelope, commonly known as "pochibukuro" (small money envelope).
It is said that the origin of the term comes from the phrase "this much of a gesture," and it is believed to have been used by patrons when giving tips to favored actors or geisha as a token of appreciation.
Additionally, pochibukuro are well known for their use in giving New Year's money (otoshidama), as well as during stage performances or sales events, where when the venue is crowded, organizers distribute them to staff and related personnel as a gesture of appreciation and celebration.
Expressing the delicate exchange of money within an elegant frame, it is a piece of wisdom from our ancestors that facilitates smooth transactions.
Beyond simply holding New Year's money, it can be used for various casual exchanges such as returning small change to friends when you don't have the exact amount, giving tips to hotel staff while traveling, returning forgotten items when inviting someone to your home, and other spontaneous communications. It is a hidden but excellent supporting role in your bag.
