This is a soft and comfortable stole made from thin, fluffy cotton gauze.
It lightly drapes over your shoulders to gently envelop you, and feels comfortably warm when wrapped around your neck. It's perfect for staying cool in air-conditioned spaces during seasonal changes, and for sun protection and preventing sunburn when you're out and about.
While it offers a relaxed feel due to its large size, it's also lightweight and easy to handle, which is another appealing feature. It's useful as a light spring outerwear, a summer sun protection stole, and for cool spring and autumn mornings and evenings.
**Subtly complements your everyday outfits.**
The "Flock of Crows" pattern is unique and slightly mysterious. Their wise, sometimes strong, and sometimes solitary figures make you want to project human emotions and stories onto them.
Although it may appear black, the color is a deep navy blue.
It's not too flashy, yet not bland. This exquisite design is perfect for those who find "ordinary" unsatisfying.
Simply pair it with your commute or weekend outfits to add a subtle accent.
**[Design and Production]**
The design is by Toyokazu Ono, a dyeing artist based in Hiroshima Prefecture. After working in Oita Prefecture, he returned to his hometown of Hiroshima in the spring of 2025.
He expresses "the four seasons of Japan" through stencil dyeing designs, delicately capturing everyday scenes such as the light and wind he feels in nature, and the sound of rain.
The Flock of Crows stole is printed using the "hand-dyeing" (tenassen) technique, where colors are carefully layered one by one.
Its appeal lies in the warm texture unique to handmade items and the depth of expression that cannot be achieved by machines.
The natural motifs appear more vibrant, resulting in a gentle expression that subtly complements everyday life.
