The energetic movement of the carp swimming around in the handkerchief and the rough waves are designed. Dyeing is done carefully by hand printing. The edges are carefully rolled up three-dimensionally by hand without using a sewing machine. **What is GASHOEN?** Gashoen is an organization led by Takuji Ueda of the Kanze school of Noh theater. Based in the scenic Shukugawa area of Hyogo Prefecture, Gashoen is involved in a variety of activities to make Noh more accessible to people of all ages. Noh is a performing art that has continued uninterrupted for approximately 650 years. We hope that this collaboration will help people understand the appeal of Noh, which has captured the hearts and minds of people throughout history. We hope that many people will come into contact with Noh, a traditional Japanese culture," said Takuji Ueda. 45 x 45 cm, 100% cotton, made in Japan **CLASSICS the Small Luxury** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53352022521_400668d37b_h.jpg **TRUE LUXURY...
