A handkerchief that uses Tochigi Prefecture's hemp, handwoven and sewed at Okai Mafu Shoten.
In order to allow any of the sides to become the front face, both edges are finished alternately.
The white has been bleached, however, there are parts where it remains yellow, and thus, truly profound. Formation of the natural color has also been added.
Thank you so much for your wonderful products and service.
I love everything I have purchased and it arrived so fast! I appreciate all the craftsmanship and care and tradition that has gone into everything, and it makes me want to buy more. The Oak Village table is my pride and joy and I sit at it to do my journaling. The [Onishi Seisakusho] Fountain Pen Sakura I use every day to draw and write on my Oak Village desk. I visited Japan in October 2022 and have always wanted to take some of it home. The textiles are beautiful, I have been using them to do natural dyeing with weld, cochineal, and madder, and I'm going to use them as covers for bookbinding. The photos you take of your products on your website are gorgeous too. The 'cloud' towels are so soft too and a pleasure to use. I use the rice chests to store my wools as moths can be an issue here in Melbourne. Thank you, I have been pleased with every product.
