Kiriko Original Bandana, Classic, Indigo Nami

The Nami (波), or wave pattern was commonly used on armor and banners during the Sengoku Era, as wars resembled moving waves. It was also used in shrines to represent gods of the sea. The Nami pattern represents unity and strength.

A quintessential summer accessory, our bandanas will soften with use, to become a treasured item worn throughout the seasons. These classic indigo fabrics are printed using a hand screen-printing technique called Tenasen.
