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 muted green dyed bandana is patterned with a flower motif, as well as a soba noodle design with hidden chopsticks. Soba noodles symbolise good fortune and longevity, as well as nourishment and has been a popular food in Japan since the Edo period. 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.
