Keep it long, treasure it long.

A gift that reaches your heart

A dyed handkerchief with beautiful vibrant colors of red, blue, and white. Each item is carefully dyed one by one by craftsmen in Kyoto using the historic technique of discharge printing (bassen), which removes pre-existing colors to reveal patterns. Inzome is a type of dyeing that is often seen on festival banners and store curtains, and is characterized by its very distinct colors. Handkerchiefs allow you to touch and enjoy the craftsmanship that you don't often get to experience in your daily life. This is a special dish that embodies the splendor of Japan and the desire to deliver it.

Touch with your hands, reach your heart

The print-dyed handkerchief has a luxurious feel with a gloss reminiscent of silk, and has bold motifs in three colors: red, blue, and white. It is a playful pattern that will bring a smile to your face, with the colored surface mainly consisting of two colors, and the remaining color depicting the adorable parts of each motif.
These three colors, which are clear and vivid and not too flashy, are the colors that give you a sense of depth and were developed by Sugishita, which has been in business for 80 years. The craftsman's commitment lies not only in the color but also in the cotton thread used. We have developed and used a special cotton thread with a glossy finish that can be used not only as a handkerchief to wipe your hands, but also as a scarf that can be attached to a bag or other item.

We have prepared three sets of stamped handkerchiefs that bring good luck. Each pattern has a meaning and a wish, and each one is like a talisman, so we recommend choosing your favorite pattern or wish and using it regularly.

The dragon, which is said to be auspicious because it ascends to heaven, makes a great birthday gift for those born in the year of the dragon, New Year's greetings, and gifts for family gifts. ``Tsurukame'' is a handkerchief that conveys a prayer for bonds and longevity, and is an auspicious pattern that everyone knows, so this handkerchief would be a great gift for your superiors, or as a 60th birthday gift, wedding gift, or other celebratory gift. The charming ``Dog Cat'' is said to bring good fortune, so it can be used as a gift for a new job or a baby. The cuteness of the pattern makes it perfect as a gift for casual occasions such as birthday presents.

``Year of the Dragon'': The dragon is believed to be a sign of good things to come. This is an auspicious pattern depicting a powerful dragon ascending to the heavens.

``Tsurukame'': A graceful vine that represents auspiciousness and symbolizes the bond between husband and wife. The turtle is a symbol of longevity that does not fit into the human timeline and can see into the future. We have created a set of these two prayer patterns.

``Dog cat'': A cat whose lucky hands bring all kinds of good fortune, and a symbol of safe childbirth, loyalty, and wealth.A cat that has always been close to humans, both in the past and today. A lovely pattern that brings comfort.

Color the mark clearly

For example, signs that can be seen from a distance, such as modern signboards, must be clear enough to convey information at a glance. Ink dyeing, which has been passed down since the Muromachi period, was originally a technique for literally "dying marks." It is one of the traditional dyeing methods used to dye banners, furoshiki, family crests, etc., and is characterized by its very clear dyeing.

Sugishita, which was born in Kyoto and has been in business for 80 years, is a manufacturer that has received orders for banners for festivals and dyed fabrics for special occasions. Sugishita started Shirushizome Sugishita, a brand of printing and dyeing products that can be used in modern life, in order to take on the next challenge and pass on the techniques that have been used to meet various requests. Each product is made with care and attention to detail, from dyeing to sewing, and each piece has a warm touch that touches people's hearts. It is a work of love that is made by hand by craftsmen. We continue to create products that tell a story by incorporating traditional craftsmanship and the splendor of Japanese culture into our products, which are rarely experienced in daily life.
