Wedding gifts and gifts for overseas customers | Obi wall art as a "gift that carries the heart"

Obi Wall Art is often chosen as a gift for weddings and anniversaries.

"Display your memories without cutting the obi."

So far, our Obi Wall Art has helped customers turn their cherished obis into meaningful gifts for loved ones.

This time, we want to share some heartfelt comments from those who chose Obi Wall Art as a special gift.

A wedding gift for my niece living overseas.

The other day, we received a special request from a customer who wanted to give her niece overseas a wedding gift: an obi inherited from her mother.

As a tea ceremony enthusiast, she initially thought about giving tea ceremony tools. But then she thought, "Since my niece grew up abroad and isn't familiar with the tea ceremony, the utensils might not be meaningful to her."

Interior decorating without cutting the obi.

That's when she discovered our Obi Wall Art.

"Interior décor that can be displayed without cutting the obi, this might be the perfect wedding gift," she thought.

Soon after, she contacted us with a special request to frame her mother's obi and have it shipped overseas.

The words "Grandma Kuri" were written on the wrapping paper. 

The obi to be framed was entrusted to us in a storage bag called tato paper, traditionally used for Japanese clothing.

On the small window of the wrapping, a sticker read "Grandma Kuri, Obi," showing just how carefully and lovingly the piece had been cared for. From that single sheet of paper, we could feel the love and story of the family.

We were truly moved to be entrusted with such a precious obi.

Chrysanthemum and paulownia: the meaning of an obi pattern fit for wedding celebrations.

The obi entrusted to us was lavishly woven with gold and silver threads, featuring designs of chrysanthemums and paulownia.

Both motifs have been used as noble symbols since ancient times.

In particular, the paulownia has long been associated with marriage, prosperity, and dowry, reflected in the old custom of planting a paulownia tree at a daughter's birth and using its wood to craft a chest of drawers for her wedding.

When I told the customer, "This obi carries a pattern that could not be more appropriate for a wedding gift," she replied, "I couldn't agree more. I'd like to share the meaning of the obi's design in my message to my niece."

A new way to give gifts without cutting the obi of memories.

A few days after the package was shipped, the niece received it and happily messaged the giver, saying, "Auntie! The present arrived! Thank you so much for the wonderful gift!"

The giver told us, "I'm so happy that our family's blessings reached my relatives who live far away."

We, too, were honored to deliver this gift in a way that fulfilled the giver's wishes.
