It was a rainy day.
I went to see my friends to return the present for monetary offering to my father when he passed away. The money given at the funeral is called koden (香典), and the return gift is called koden gaeshi (香典返し).
In Japan when people get married or die, the present is usually money.
It is wrapped with an envelope called noshibukuro (熨斗袋). For the happy events they are edged with red, and for the unhappy events they are edged with black or green.
