[China Towel Industry Network] Japanese people are very particular about giving gifts. Whether they are going to a friend's house or meeting a happy event, they will send a gift. Japanese people generally don't give away too expensive gifts, mostly food or daily necessities, and towels are the most common gift.
A delicate and delicious snack, a box of beer, a bottle of red wine, a bouquet of flowers, a box of tea, and even a watermelon can be a gift for Japanese people to visit relatives and friends. In addition, a beautifully wrapped towel is also a very decent gift. . A Japanese friend told the Global Times reporter that if the gift is too expensive, the person accepting the gift is worried that the person is short-handed. After accepting the gift, the other party has something to ask for, so it will generally refuse. The towel is cheap, and the gift giver and the recipient will not be burdened.
The Japan-China Friendship Association in the Meguro District of Tokyo, where the Global Times reporter is located, holds the Spring Festival every year. The head of the district and the district speaker will attend. In order to be active, a lottery will be held. The reporter once won a grand prize at a new year's Spring Festival - a box of beautifully wrapped towels. Last year, the neighbors wanted to renovate the house. The reporter received a notice in the mailbox telling the date of the project and a towel. Opened a look, the towel is relatively simple, but also the name, address and contact information of the construction company.
Japanese gifts are generally coming and going, especially after the red and white weddings have been combined. If a Japanese friend's parents die, whether or not they go to a funeral, they usually send cash as a condolence. This is called "Xiangdian" in Japanese. As a gift, the person who received the "Xiangdian" and other relatives died 49 days later, to send back some gifts to colleagues and friends, there are tea, coffee and the like, but the most is still towels. If a Japanese friend has a child, after receiving some congratulations from the baby, he will usually receive a towel as a gift.
In addition, Japanese companies have a habit of giving customers "New Year's Towels" at the beginning of the year, and hope that customers will continue to take care of them this year. It is reported that this habit was unique to the Kanto region of Japan, but it has now expanded to many other places in Japan. In the Edo period in Japan, there was a habit of sending traditional Japanese hand towels at the beginning of the year. However, because towels are cheaper and more versatile than cloth towels, they gradually became a fixed gift for greetings at the beginning of the year. It is precisely because the towel used to be an indispensable daily necessities in life, it is very practical and convenient, so it gradually forms a fixed habit. Because of this habit of sending towels, there are many towels in the average family in Japan. If too many towels are received, some Japanese will sell unused towels at a cheap price.
