Here is our top 10 Japanese Gifts!
The last time you went over to your friend's house, you noticed the empty and sad walls in his or her room or living room? Well, here's a great deal! 👌
Why not offer a beautiful Japanese artwork? Firstly, it will sublimate their walls. Secondly, he (or she) will be thinking of you whenever passing by. And lastly, the effort you made to buy a Japan-themed gift - his or her passion - will definitely be appreciated.
Now that you have made your decision, all that remains to be done is to find the Japanese wall art that matches your friend best. Typical Japanese landscapes such as Mount Fuji are perfect for dreamers in search of escape. Similarly, the iconic painting The Great Wave off Kanagawa, by the famous painter Hokusai is a gift that is sure to please everyone.
For a more original wall decoration, you have the choice between paintings that reflect traditional or contemporary Japanese culture such as portraits of geisha, samurai, cherry blossoms or an illustration of the famous dish ramen. Symbolic animals such as cranes, koi fish, tigers and Japanese dragons are also a great option and a nice reference to Japanese mythology. It's up to you! 😀
The typical Japanese tabi socks can be a bit surprising with their separation between the big toe and the other toes. What an idea! And yet, if your friend owns a pair of geta or zori (traditional Japanese shoes) this gift is a real must!
Besides the fact that they are very practical for wearing strapped footwear, tabi socks have many benefits for our health. Better stimulation of blood circulation, agility of the toes, better regulation of perspiration... These two-fingered socks will warm up your feet more quickly, avoid bad odors and improve your posture. So, what do you think? Maybe offering these amazing socks to your friend or family member ain't such a bad idea at all. A great way to prove that you care about him or her. 😄
Don't like the idea of separating toes? Opt for a pair of regular socks with a cute kawaii or traditional Japanese pattern!
You can also find socks in plain colors, perfect as a Japanese gift for men.
Are you looking for a comfortable gift? Both elegant and casual, the jinbei is a traditional garment very popular among Japanese, especially in summer.

In Japanese culture, lucky charms are almost everywhere and there are dozens of them, each more or less specialized in a particular area of life. To mention three of them, there is the inevitable Maneki Neko, the curious Daruma and the all-purpose Omamori. These three Japanese lucky charms are the most common ones and make excellent gifts to offer to a loved one.
Daruma is the ideal Japanese gift for wishing success to a loved one. This curious rounded doll, without arms or legs, symbolizes perseverance, luck and success.
An Omamori is a protective charm in the form of a small cloth bag. Depending on its color and the kanji inscriptions embroidered on it, this small talisman has the power to protect its owner in a specific area of life: love, wealth, health, marriage, academic success... Giving an omamori to someone important to you is a wonderful way to prove your friendship or love.
Offer your friend a beautiful Japanese lantern to enlighten his/her home. The iconic red chôchin is perfect for creating a traditional Japanese style at home.
Affordable, you can even buy several of them and recreate the feeling of a sushi restaurant or a sake bar in your own kitchen. Through its rice paper, the light is nicely diffused for a soft and soothing illumination. 🏮
The Japanese paper lantern also exists in ball shape, with bamboo or cherry tree patterns. In summer, these ball lamps will find their place in branches of trees to give life to an ephemeral Japanese garden. Imagine spending more time with your friends enjoying an aperitif beneath the stars, under the soft glow of these Japanese lanterns...
Once you've found the perfect Japanese gift, consider wrapping it in a furoshiki cloth 😉 Furoshiki is a simple and efficient wrapping technique involving fabric, folds and knots. This Japanese practice is a great alternative to single-use plastic bags and wrapping paper. In addition, your packaging will become a gift itself!
