New, Unused SWATOW Handkerchief Hand-embroidered, Embroidered Handkerchief, Lace Blooming Nakani This handkerchief features Shantou (Swatow) embroidery, a traditional Chinese craft. Shantou embroidery is a hand embroidery technique passed down in the Shantou region of eastern Guangdong Province, China, born from the fusion of European embroidery techniques and Chinese aesthetics. Features: It is characterized by openwork patterns and three-dimensional embroidery, created by cutting the fabric and pulling threads. Uses: It can be used not only as a handkerchief but also as a placemat or a decorative item when framed. Rarity: Due to the labor-intensive nature of the craft, the number of artisans has decreased in recent years, increasing its rarity. This item becomes more beautifully white with each wash after use. To reduce shipping costs, the handkerchief will be removed from its packaging and folded for shipping via Mercari. If you purchase this item with other items, I will offer a 150 yen discount.
