Traditional Japanese noshi

Noshi (熨斗, lit. "Iron[ed] Flat[ened]") are a kind of ceremonial origami fold entirely distinct from "origami-tsuki". Ceremonial Origata/Origami, a Noshi is a piece of white paper wrapped in a sheet of coloured paper, folded in a long hexagonal shape, attached to gifts and presents offered on festive occasions in Japan, serving to express "good wishes" from the gift-giver to the gift-receiver. Noshi will include Mizuhiki and a strip of flattened-Abalone, because of the Homophone for the word Noshi (伸し) which means 'flattening' and 'expanding', as a nod to longevity; abalone was believed to be an auspicious food that prolonged life, and has been used as sacred food offered to Shinto gods since ancient times in Japan[1][2][3].
