Japanese Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga Pile Handkerchief

A playful piece of Japanese art for everyday use. This soft cotton handkerchief features a scene from Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga, the celebrated 12th–13th century Japanese illustrated scrolls known for their wonderfully expressive, human-like animals. This design captures two animals engaged in a spirited sumo match — part of the lively storytelling that has led these centuries-old drawings to be regarded as an early ancestor of modern manga and animation.

Made in Japan from 100% cotton, the handkerchief combines soft gauze with absorbent pile for a lightweight, gentle feel. Tuck it into a handbag or pocket for everyday use, or give it as a charming little gift for someone who appreciates Japanese art and design.
