Small envelopes, commonly known as "Pochi-bukuro."The name is said to originate from the phrase "kore-ppocchi" (meaning "just a little bit"), and it is believed they were first used by patrons to give gratuities to their favorite actors or geisha.Pochi-bukuro are also well-known for their use as envelopes for New Year's money (Otoshidama), or as "Oiri-bukuro" distributed by organizers to staff as both a gesture of appreciation and a bonus when a performance or sales event draws a full house.
These envelopes represent the wisdom of our ancestors, turning the delicate act of handing over money into a stylish gesture to ensure smooth social interactions.Beyond their use for New Year's money, they serve as a charming "supporting actor" hidden in your bag for various moments of communication—such as when returning borrowed change to a friend, giving a tip to a room attendant while traveling, or returning an item left behind by a guest invited to your home.
