shop#199 Asahiya

Asahiya is located on the Kappabashi-hon-dori, selling various envelops or Origami.

In Japan, it is a custom for adults (parents or grandparents) to give children a money on a New Year's Day as Otoshidama, These small envelops, called Pochibukuro, are for such custom. 2016 will be a year of monkeys. That's why monkeys are illustrated on the paper.

They also sell cards and Origami. These Origami are easy to fold paper cranes, just following instruction lines. You can make flag-patterned or Hanafuda-patterned cranes.
