Omiyage, ochugen, oseibo, oh my! Are you interested in learning more about the complex and deeply meaningful world of Japanese gift giving?


Please join us as Professor Mary Eberhardinger will lead a conversation about gifting culture and etiquette in Japan so that you can feel prepared for your next gifting occasion in Japan, and learn some useful tips and tricks to become a great gifter, regardless of the recipient!


We will have an in-depth discussion of the philosophies of gift giving in Japan, common expectations and customs, specific situations, occasions, and more! Our friends at KO KYOTO will also provide a demonstration of a popular and traditional way to present wrapped gifts in Japan, furoshiki. 


This is a free, hour-long presentation hosted on Zoom. Registration is required. 


If you would like to order high-quality authentic furoshiki from Japan, check out the variety offered by KO KYOTO, including their super popular zodiac designs. Order by October 31st, 2024 to receive your furoshiki in the mail in time so you may fold-along with the demonstration, or shop in-person at their local shop at 1 Bow Mkt Wy Unit 33, Somerville, MA 02143.
