• A farewell present, full of thanks, for someone returning home or moving on
• Weddings, new babies, birthdays and other celebrations
• Eid and other special days

Black, so it is easy to use
Most of the scarf is calm, plain black, so it pairs easily with what the recipient already owns and slips naturally into everyday outfits. The pattern appears only along one edge, so it never feels overpowering and adds a quiet touch of elegance when worn.

The meaning of the fan (ogi)
A fan opens wider toward its tip, which is why it is called suehirogari ("ever-widening"). In Japan it has long been an auspicious motif, expressing the wish that happiness and prosperity keep growing. On this fabric, the fans are decorated with chrysanthemums for dignity and long life, peonies for abundance, shippo (interlocking circles) for harmony, kikko (tortoise-shell) for longevity, and delicate white flowers. It is a pattern that quietly carries your wish: "may happiness keep growing for you."

Vintage Kimono × Modern Elegance
This piece is made from a vintage black kimono of the kind worn for formal occasions. Precious fabric handed down from the past is given new life as a modern scarf. The patterned kimono fabric is sewn together with lightweight plain black fabric to form one continuous square. Fold it diagonally into a triangle and drape it over the head and shoulders: the patterned part frames the back and shoulders gracefully, while the black fabric flows softly over them.

One of a kind
Vintage kimono fabric is limited, and the placement of the pattern differs in every part of every kimono. This scarf is therefore truly one of a kind, and the same fabric, pattern placement and design cannot be recreated. The feeling of "a piece made only for you" is another reason it makes such a fitting gift.

Materials and notes on vintage fabric
The patterned part uses genuine vintage kimono fabric (believed to include silk), but as it is vintage, its exact fiber composition cannot be confirmed. Slight individual differences and small traces of age may be present; please enjoy them as part of the character of an original kimono.
The plain part uses a light, smooth fabric. It has a soft feel and is comfortable to wear all day.

Care (kimono fabric is silk)
The kimono fabric is vintage silk, and some pieces are dyed, hand-painted or embroidered (exact composition unknown). It is sensitive to water and friction, so please avoid washing it at home and we recommend dry cleaning. Silk is naturally antibacterial, so for everyday care, airing it in a shaded, well-ventilated place is usually enough.
