The Scent of Autumn
It’s that time of year when the air gradually grows crisp and dusk falls earlier.
As you walk through the city, the leaves on the trees begin to change color, and the scent of osmanthus drifts in from who knows where.
Fall is a beautiful season where you can sense the changing seasons not only through what you see, but also through the scents, the breeze, and the shifting light.
Why not capture that essence of autumn on a single handkerchief?
Every time you carry it with you, you’ll be reminded of the season. We’ve gathered these “scents of autumn” just for you.
Osmanthus: Heralding the Arrival of Fall
In the fall, a sweet fragrance gently wafts from street corners and front yards. The osmanthus is a flower that signals the arrival of fall with its scent even before you see it.
The “Dress in Bloom Osmanthus Dress” handkerchief captures this osmanthus in a single, dress-like design. Against a gray background, the orange blossoms and the green leaves stand out as striking accents.
With its vibrant design that seems to evoke the scent itself, this handkerchief makes a perfect gift for someone special.

“Moon Rabbit” gazing up at the moon
Walking through an autumn forest while gazing at trees dyed in shades of red and yellow is a special moment, a little different from your usual stroll.
“Maple Leaf Viewing” is a handkerchief that captures such a scene from the autumn forest on a single piece of fabric.
In a forest thick with autumn foliage, animals come and go in search of nuts. The beautiful gradient shifting from yellow to red evokes the deepening autumn.
The fabric is made with slub yarn, which features randomly varying thread thicknesses. Its rustic texture evokes the warmth of an autumn forest.
A quiet autumn night, quite different from the fall foliage seen during the day. As the air grows crisp, the moon seems to shine more beautifully than ever.
The hand-embroidered Vietnamese handkerchief “Moon Rabbit” depicts a rabbit gazing up at the sky beside autumn grasses—pampas grass and Japanese bush clover.
The gentle glow of the moon is rendered through delicate hand embroidery using gold thread. The moon is embroidered using a technique called “komatori,” which accentuates the delicate shimmer unique to gold thread.

The design evokes a sense of Japanese tradition, created by layering and spreading out eight threads one by one. The fabric features a woven phoenix pattern, creating a finish that gives a sense of depth depending on how the light hits it.
Additionally, “eight” is an auspicious number symbolizing prosperity. This handkerchief is the perfect choice for seasonal greetings or as a gift for someone special. It can also be used like a fukusa (traditional wrapping cloth) at autumn celebrations.
