Greeting Cards CollectionQ&A
Q: Can you remove the price tag from the product?
A: Price tags and invoices with prices are not included in the box. However, for shipments of items exceeding USD1,800 by DHL or using EMS, the price may be listed on the invoice enclosed at the back of the shipping slip.
Q: Can you wrap each item individually by furoshiki?
A: Free furoshiki wrapping is only available for order units. If you wish to wrap the products individually, please purchase a separate furoshiki cloth and wrap the products yourself. Furoshiki wrapping is much easier than paper wrapping. You can find a guide here. In Japan, it has long been believed that a knot can contain the thoughts of the person who tied it. Please tie the knot while imagining the recipient!
Q: Is it possible to specify the delivery date?
A: Due to the congestion in the global logistics network, no international shipping company accepts a specific delivery date. If you want the gift to be delivered on a specific date, the most reliable way is for you to pick up the item once and hand it over to a local carrier that accepts a specific delivery date. At that time, you can add a handwritten message card to the gift to make it a truly unforgettable gift for the recipient!
Q: Can arrangements be made to ensure that the recipient does not have to pay import duties as it is a gift?
A: No, we cannot do that. We regret to inform you that any applicable import duties are the responsibility of the recipient and are collected at the time of importation. When purchasing items as gifts, we recommend designating your own address as the shipping address to prevent the imposition of import duties on the recipient.

The Art of "Wrapping"and "Knotting" Culture in Japan
The culture of wrapping gifts in cloth or paper and tying them with cord actually has a deep meaning for the Japanese, not only for practicality.Furoshiki, for example, are used to wrap a gift in a beautiful cloth, with each knot having a different meaning and expressing gratitude to the recipient. Such actions of "wrapping" and "tying" or "knotting" evoke special feelings of warmth and solemnity.Also, the name of the site, Musubi Kiln, is derived from the Japanese word "Musubi", which means knotting or bonding in English. Originally in Japan, “Musubi” meant to bring two things together to create something new, and in the old days it meant marriage, but today the word is also considered to mean a source of creation, created from bonds with friends, family, business colleagues, and all other kinds of people. In this article, we would like to take a closer look at what "wrapping" and "knotting" mean in Japanese culture, and how they are represented in places and objects, using some examples.Let us invite you to this mysterious custom that has continued from ancient times to the present day!
