Large Printed Silk Pocket Square (Silk Handkerchief) Thunder Grey with Bistre Brown, Denim, Powder Blue, Crimson, Pearl, Peach & Olive Green Hannya Demon Japanese Ukiyo-e Print Silk Pocket Square The Hannya demon is a prominent figure in Japanese folklore and traditional Noh theatre. Its tale unfurls around a woman ensnared by jealousy and wrath, transforming into a demonic entity known as Hannya. Traditionally, the narrative weaves the sorrowful plight of a woman betrayed or forsaken by her lover, stirring within her a tempest of heartbreak and betrayal. These fervent emotions manifest into a monstrous form, the Hannya demon, characterised by a horned, grotesque mask often depicted in Japanese art and theatre. Hannya is often portrayed as a vengeful spirit seeking retribution against those who wronged her, particularly her former lover. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the destructive power of jealousy and the consequences of untamed emotions. The hand-drawn design is exclusive to Cravat Club, created in Kanagawa, Japan, and handcrafted here in England. ~ With Hand Rolled Edges ~ Made From 16oz 'Extra Soft' Silk Twill Designed in Japan By Japanese Artist Yusuke Aoki Printed and Handcrafted in England Dimensions: 42cm x 42cm (16" x 16")
