Small envelope, commonly known as "pochibukuro" (small money envelope).
It is said that the origin of the name comes from the phrase "this much of a gesture," and it is believed that it was originally used by patrons to give tips or tokens of appreciation to favored actors or geisha, as a gesture of goodwill.
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 participants as a form of appreciation and celebration.
Expressing delicate monetary exchanges within a stylish frame, it is a piece of wisdom from our ancestors that facilitates smooth transactions.
Not only used as a simple envelope for New Year's money, but also for casual exchanges such as returning small change to friends when you have none, giving tips to a maid while traveling, or returning forgotten items when inviting someone to your home—these spontaneous interactions are made more enjoyable with this hidden hero in your bag.
