Description

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

The design centers around a deeply personal message about rest and recovery, expressed through the phrase “On days when something sad happens, sleep for 12 hours.”
Accompanying words reflect the artist’s philosophy:

“Sleep is important.
If you sleep deeply enough, many things recover.
Sleep until you forget unpleasant things.
Sleep is a central theme of life.”

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.
