A western style, 100% cotton bandana patterned with traditional Japanese motifs or “Wagara.” Each bandana is hand dyed and printed with designs inspired by seasonal changes, culture, and nature of Japan. This brilliant blue dyed bandana is a homage to a clear sky during the day. The colour of a clear daytime sky has been referred to in Japanese art and literature as “sora-iro” since the Heian period. Swallows, a symbol of good luck, dance across the sky decorated with scenic clouds to create of image of a beautiful day. Use to bundle up a bento box, or even use as a neckerchief or headscarf. Please note that the natural dying process using indigo and/or semi inks may have subtle variety in tone and hue. The hand dying process allows dye to penetrate both sides of the fabric, which does not become stiff over time — and actually softens similarly to a high-quality denim. Hand wash only and do not leave lying in water, as the dye is subject to migrate when wet. Measures 52 x 52cm. Made in Japan.
