Gift giving is an important part of the culture in Japan, with many different types of gifts that can be given, as well as certain etiquette rules to follow. Traditional Japanese gifts include tea sets, sake sets, calligraphy sets and pottery. Regional specialties from different parts of the country make unique presents, as do personalized and homemade gifts. Etiquette rules include using both hands during presentation and never opening presents right away. Wrapping paper should match the occasion and everything should look neat before handing it over.
