For weddings, envelopes inscribed with "壽" or "御結婚御祝" (congratulations on your wedding) are the preferred choice. Japanese *shugi-bukuro* are characterized by a decorative cord called "mizuhiki" used as a seal, and often feature a double-layered design. The small, three-dimensional embellishment in the upper right corner is known as "noshi." Inside, there is a plain white envelope, the "nakabukuro" (inner envelope), where the giver's name and title are written before being enclosed in the beautifully decorated outer wrapper. 【Product Specifications】 When laid flat, unfolded: 10.5 x 18 cm Designed and imported from: Japan Material: Imported cardstock ※ All product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat.
