- Japanese wrapping has a particularly formal quality: the strict wrapping rules for specific occasions.
Fold right to left, with an odd number of pleats for all kind of celebrations. Fold left to right, with an even number of pleats for condolences or sad occasions.
It was said wrapping a gift in pleated white Japanese paper (Washi) would seal
the contents and protect it from outside world.

While I’ve watched many Japanese gift wrapping videos no one had explained the meaning behind the different styles and of folds. I didn’t even know there was a hidden meaning. Thank you so much for sharing this informative video 😃
Thank you for your comment! I'm so happy to hear it.🤗 You might also be interested in this video.

The cultural meaning of the different wrapping styles was fascinating! Your instructions made it easy to experiment with these beautiful wraps. I enjoyed listening to the narration too. :-)
Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Yes! The impish side of me is now delighted with the knowledge to make passive-aggressive gift giving possible hahaha. More likely, I could see myself being tongue-in-cheek with friends who also know about this (like the way people sometimes congratulate each other on the birth of their firstborn by jokingly mourning that their life has basically ended along with their freedom even though they’re both actually thrilled).
@@CatalogK9 I'm glad you enjoy it, and that's so funny (and true :-) how you use it jokingly!
I've been unintentionally disrespecting this beautiful ceremonious wrapping technique for years because this is the first (only?) video that explains it.
Thank you for discovering the video and for your wonderful comments.
Nowadays, there are not so many people knows about it, even in Japan. I just wanted to share it. Thank you so much!

What's the length required for wrapping
Good question. It depends on the number and width of the pleats. It's a good idea to start with about 1.5 times the length of paper that can cover the box, then I think you can make three pleats.
If you'd like to make the fan shape, you need longer (2 times?) and wider paper.
It's better to make it a little larger, since you can cut off excess paper when wrapping.
Also you can add separate pleated part later.

Just make it odd number from right to left for happy occasions :-).
@@tsutsuming Thank you very much.
You are very welcome!

I don't recommend on big presents 😒 or thick wrappers
Thank you for the comment. You're right, it's easier to use thinner paper for making pleats.
Although I wrapped many large boxes with this way, it may need a little practice. and it's easier to make the pleated part separately.

On the other hand, though, stiffer paper holds pleats better and can be easier to work with since it’s less likely to crease in weird places while you fold, and it’s less fragile, so it’s less likely to tear while you’re creasing it or working near corners. I have a TON of different wrapping papers I’ve been using, and I’ve really noticed the difference.
@@CatalogK9 Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I'm such a freakin idiot. Looks so easy but mine is all crumpled up. Sad
Please don't be sad. You don't need to follow exactly. You can make pleated part with any way which is easier for you. It would be easier to make the pleated part separately :-).

@@tsutsuming you make it look so easyyy
You know why? Because I have done so many pleated gift wrapping for many people’s gifts. That’s it. I think it would be easier for you to use thinner paper, and make wider & deeper pleats. and turn over the paper each time you make fold. You will get the easier way for you 😉. Thank you for watching!
