Money given to children at New Year in small decorated envelopes. The pack includes six envelopes marked お年玉 to cut and fold.

What are the osechi labels?

Little cards naming eight New Year foods with their meanings, such as kuromame (black beans) for health and kazunoko (herring roe) for many children.

Is it suitable for a Japanese class?

Yes. The bingo and kakizome sheets work well for children and learners.

How do I get the files?

Straight after payment the download page opens with a button for every file, and we email you the same link. Nothing is posted.

How should I print them?

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or your browser and print at 100% or ‘Actual size’, not ‘Fit to page’. Matte card of 200–300 gsm gives the nicest finish, but plain paper works too.

Can I print more than one copy?

Yes. The personal-use licence lets you print as many copies as you need for your own home, family and events, at home or at a print shop. Please do not share or resell the files.
