Description

This rare handkerchief is part of an artist collaboration series featuring Isamu Gakiya, a Tokyo-based artist originally from Okinawa.

The design is titled “I Love Snow!” and depicts a gentle, imaginative scene: a being who delivers snow as a gift, and children joyfully playing in it.
The source of happiness that wells up in the heart, the artwork suggests, may always come from something given by someone else.

The design is accompanied by the following words by the artist:

“Wouldn’t it be nice if snow could be shared—
to ease the hardships of places overwhelmed by it,
by sending snowfall to places where it never snows,
so everyone can enjoy it together?
Dear weather.”

This message reflects Isamu Gakiya’s uniquely tender worldview—one that transforms natural phenomena into acts of care and redistribution. Snow is not only a burden or a spectacle, but a shared gift, passed along with empathy and playful imagination.

Isamu Gakiya is known for his pop and colorful visual language influenced by horror films and American comics, combined with a sense of grotesque humor.
Working across drawing, collage, painting, and mixed analog–digital techniques, he has created artwork for musicians and various creative projects, earning a passionate following.

Printed on a 100% cotton handkerchief made in Japan, this piece functions both as a practical everyday item and as a collectible work of art—quiet, intimate, and reflective of the artist’s worldview.
