Japan Gift Etiquette Judge
Before your AI agent sends a gift to someone in Japan, ask this Actor whether the gift follows Japanese gift etiquette. It returns a clear verdict with reasons in English and Japanese.
What it checks
- Timing — e.g. ochugen (midsummer) and oseibo (year-end) windows, with Kanto/Kansai differences; baby gifts never before birth; funeral return gifts after the 49th-day memorial.
- Noshi (wrapping) — bow knot vs. tied knot, black-white for funerals, no noshi for get-well gifts.
- Price range — typical amounts, and 1/3–1/2 of the received amount for return gifts (uchiiwai, kodengaeshi).
- Taboo items — knives and fragile items for weddings, potted plants for get-well gifts, cash or vouchers for superiors, the numbers 4 and 9.
Verdicts
| verdict | meaning |
|---|---|
ok | Within common etiquette |
caution | Acceptable, but read the issues |
unsure | Not enough information or occasion not covered — do not send yet |
ng | Not recommended as is |
The Actor never guesses: unknown occasions or missing dates return unsure.
