<About the handkerchief that can also be a scarf>

This handkerchief features Miyaco Nishio's watercolor paintings.
Its large size means it can be used not only as a handkerchief
but also as a scarf.

Each piece is carefully finished with "Chidori-maki (bird's eye stitch) sewing,"
a technique mainly used for scarves in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture.

Wear it. Keep it in your pocket.
It’s a piece that will make an ordinary day a little happier,
as if there were real flowers there.



<About the fabric>

The fabric is 100% cotton lawn.
It has a smooth feel and is slightly sheer.

It features full-color printing, with almost no color fading after washing,
so you can use it with peace of mind.


<How to use>

At 53cm, it's a large size,
so it can be used as a handkerchief or a scarf.
It's also recommended for protection against air conditioning in summer or as a sunshade.

It can also be used as a basket cover, lunch box wrap, or as a bandana.
With one piece, you can enjoy various uses.

When paired with a separately sold scarf ring, the knot will be neatly tied.

like giving flowers.
