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 deep indigo dyed bandana is patterned with the big dipper, a constellation which presides over misfortune and fortune, three stars valued by the warrior class of Japan, and the nine days of the which used to ward of bad luck — each ancient elements of the design come together to create harmony. 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.
