Everyday Use of Hand-Dyed Handkerchiefs
The base fabric of the handkerchief is 100% cotton natural material.
Using a double gauze with excellent water absorption and breathability, the handkerchief offers a soft and gentle feel when held, along with a charmingly Japanese subdued color harmony.
Perfect for daily use to wipe your hands or face, and also recommended for interior items such as book covers, tissue box covers, and fabric panels.
It can be used as a bag accent by tying it to the handle or as a hidden eye-catching bag charm that is not too conspicuous.
Because it features a good traditional pattern, it is also suitable for wrapping small presents or celebratory bags.

Artisan Skills That Make the Magic of Hand-Dyeing Stand Out
This handkerchief is a special exquisite product made from Fuwa Market original fabric, individually hand-dyed by artisans at a dyeing workshop in Kyoto.
The deep colors and unique harmonies created by traditional techniques are captivating.
Looking closely at the fabric, you can sense the rich layering of delicate colors unique to hand-dyeing.
The subtle gradations and nuances create a unique atmosphere that can only be achieved by handcrafting, expressing a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Each piece is carefully dyed by hand, giving rise to a depth and warmth that simple prints cannot express.
The craftsmanship highlights the refined beauty of Japanese aesthetics in every detail. Each time you use it, you will feel the meaning of Japanese artisan skills and traditional patterns.
The charm and warmth born from the artisan's handiwork are something we hope you will truly experience.
Wishes and Prayers Woven into the Plum Blossom Pattern
Plum Blossom for Health and Disaster Prevention
A delicate flower that blooms amidst cold winds, with a faint sweet fragrance, it heralds the early arrival of spring.
The calm winter landscape colors of red, pink, and white plum blossoms evoke a breath of life.
Many songs remain in Japan’s oldest anthology 'Manyoshu' with the plum blossom as their theme, enchanting people since ancient times.
Speaking of plum blossoms as a motif, it refers to the famous tea "Daifuku-cha," made from dried plum and kombu seaweed, originally consumed by Emperor Murakami during the Heian period when he was ill and recovered. It became a drink to wish for a year of health and disaster prevention.
The color palette includes warm reds,
and bright, pop yellow tones in two color variations.
The subdued color harmony has personality, making it perfect as an item to brighten your daily life. Since it is a Japanese modern design, it also pairs well with traditional clothing such as bathrobes and kimonos.
※ Because the fabric is cut from a large piece, there may be individual differences in pattern placement. Please understand this in advance.
