This handkerchief features a drawing by printmaker and artist Makoto Matsubayashi, who is based in Kochi Prefecture.



Painted with free-flowing brushstrokes, white dots stand out boldly against a black background. Though the design is refreshingly simple, with no extra embellishment, the subtle wavering and fading of the hand-drawn lines bring a gentle warmth to the overall look.



Take a closer look and you’ll spot something special—tiny hand-drawn flowers tucked here and there among the dots. Each one is unique—a charming detail that adds a playful touch.



Made from crisp, lightweight 100% cotton, the fabric measures a generous 52 cm x 52 cm. In addition to using it as a handkerchief, you can wear it like a scarf around your neck or tie it to your bag as a stylish accent. There are many ways to enjoy this versatile item.









Makoto Matsubayashi’s lineup also includes techo covers, Weeks books, and coordinating stationery and accessories.



This is a chic, sophisticated handkerchief. Enjoy using it in your own unique way.
