Tsubo kazari (a tea procedure for opening the tea jar and displaying it to the guests) is an old tradition; others are thought to have been formed during the Edo period (especially during the late Edo period) to show the consideration for the giver of the present.
壺飾は古くからの習いだが、それ以外は江戸時代に（特に後期になって）拝領品への配慮として生じた取り扱いだと思われる。
