A lovely handkerchief with a design of butterflies and blossom in delicate colours. A souvenir from Japan the handkerchief retains its original packaging from Japan's first and most prestigious department store chain. Size 17 x 17 inches / 43 x 43 cm. The handkerchief is in new condition. The envelope shows signs of wear due to storage. Definitely a handkerchief to collect. The use of the fabric handkerchief in Japan has risen as it has declined in the west. "In Japan, the majority of the populace, from small children to the elderly, still carry a handkerchief on a regular basis. "For drying your hands in public restrooms that don't have driers or paper towels, for blotting sweat off your face in the humid summer months, or for resting on your lap while eating a boxed lunch. In a pinch, they can cover your head during a rain shower, or be used for wiping off a wet bicycle seat when the rain has stopped." The handkerchief is part of Japanese etiquette and forgetting to bring or carry one is frowned upon.
