A Handkerchief That Adds a Pleasant Everyday Atmosphere
A piece that combines the kagome (basket weave) pattern, symbolizing harmony, bringing warmth and a sense of calmness to any space or outfit.
The fabric, woven from hemp and cotton, is durable, breathable, and moisture-absorbent, making it lively and comfortable even in sunny or humid conditions.
Containing hemp improves breathability, making it comfortable to wear even on hot summer days when you sweat. It is a pleasant point that it remains soft and comfortable even after washing.
The draped tone fits well in both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms, easily becoming an interior accent. It adds a cool and refreshing presence to any space.
The Skilled Craft of Dyeing Continuing Since the Meiji Era
Kamawanu’s handkerchiefs are made using the unique Japanese dyeing technique called “Chusen” which has been passed down since the Meiji era. By preventing dye backflow and dyeing the fabric in one go, the handkerchiefs can be used reversibly without lining.
Due to the manual process, subtle variations and “playfulness” occur in the colors and patterns, changing the atmosphere the more you use it. Each piece develops into a unique presence, like a companion that becomes more lively over time.
