Explanation

The Japanese noun '小包 (こづつみ)' refers to a 'parcel' or 'package', typically used for items sent through the mail or delivered to someone. It is commonly used in contexts involving shipping, receiving, or sending items. For example: I received a parcel from my friend「友達から小包が届きました」(ともだちからこづつみがとどきました). Please send this parcel to the address「この小包をこの住所に送ってください」(このこづつみをこのじゅうしょにおくってください). The word is neutral and can refer to packages of any size, though it often implies something smaller or more personal than larger freight or cargo.
