Tabanenoshi-mon (ribbon bundle pattern) is an original chiyogami design with a pattern of noshi bundles. In ancient Japan, noshi were strips of dried abalone, a type of ocean shellfish. These strips represented good fortune and long life, and were used to decorate gifts for important occasions such as weddings, sort of like ribbons and bows are used on gifts in the West. Today, bundles of noshi strips are still used to decorate gifts for special occasions, though the noshi strips today are made of paper, not shellfish. There are red, purple, and blue versions available for download.
