Frequently Asked Questions
What is Goshugi?
Goshugi (ご祝儀) is a monetary gift given at Japanese weddings to congratulate the couple and help them start their new life. It's an important part of Japanese etiquette.
Why are there specific amounts?
Japanese gift-giving etiquette dictates specific amounts based on relationship and social standing. Amounts ending in 4 or 9 are typically avoided as they are associated with death and suffering, respectively.
Can I adjust the amount?
While this calculator provides culturally appropriate suggestions, personal circumstances may lead to slight adjustments. Always aim for round, auspicious numbers (e.g., ¥10,000, ¥30,000, ¥50,000) and avoid unlucky numbers.
