Block-Print Handkerchief
JPY 1,870 (incl. tax)
The lightweight white fabric from northern India, a centre of block printing, allows the colours to shine vividly.
Indian craftspeople use hand-carved wooden blocks to print patterns developed from our original illustrations. The slight shifts and bleeds that differ with every impression give each handkerchief its own handmade character.
Quick to dry and softer with use, this handkerchief is a lovely choice for yourself or as a gift.
Country of origin: India
Material: 100% cotton
Size: approximately 540 × 540 mm
• Please check the care label shown in the photographs before use or washing.
• Colour bleeding will lessen with use, and the fabric will gradually soften and settle.
• Hand printing produces slight misalignment, faded impressions and spots of colour. These are normal characteristics of the product.
• Each piece is sewn individually by hand, so it may not be perfectly square and the corners may be slightly uneven.

The character of hand printing by Indian craftspeople
Scenes from the workshop
The lightweight white fabric from northern India, a centre of block printing, allows the colours to shine vividly.
Indian craftspeople use hand-carved wooden blocks to print patterns developed from our original illustrations. The slight shifts and bleeds that differ with every impression give each handkerchief its own handmade character.
After we sent the pattern artwork, a separate wooden block was carved for each colour. We exchanged revisions to the blocks and colours many times between Japan and India.
The thin, lightweight fabric is breathable and dries quickly. It becomes softer with every wash, feeling gentle against the skin like gauze.
The printed fabric is cut into handkerchief-sized pieces, and each one is stitched around the edges locally.
Every piece is inspected before packing. Slightly faded or misaligned impressions, small ink spots and an uneven square shape are accepted as normal characteristics of this handmade product.
A versatile piece of fabric
Generously sized enough to wrap a lunch box, it can also be worn as an accessory or used as a decorative accent at home.
Try styling it in whatever way suits the occasion.
