About Noshi

Generally speaking, when referring to a gift wrapping, it refers to abalone wrapped in a noshi.
Wrap the box in noshi paper or hosho paper and tie it in place with mizuhiki or obi paper.
It can be considered a form of traditional Japanese gift wrapping.
A ribbon is fine for casual gifts, but for gifts on formal occasions, it is more polite and looks nicer to attach a noshi.
Abalone has been highly valued since ancient times and has been regarded as sacred, making it a prized gift for celebrations and other special occasions.
This is said to originate from the custom of cutting abalone meat into thin, long slices, stretching it, drying it, using it as an appetizer at ceremonies, and then attaching it to gifts (this accompaniment was called noshi abalone).
The word noshi itself means to stretch something thin and long.
The noshi wrapping used today was created based on this abalone motif.
