How it's used

Refers specifically to the name of the recipient or the dedication placed at the beginning of a gift, such as a scroll or plaque. It is the counterpart to 下款, which indicates the sender's name or the date. While common in formal gift-giving or traditional art, it is rarely used in everyday correspondence like emails or letters.

Common mistake
