This lightweight bandana is a part of a collection that features colors that have been cherished in Japan for centuries. Many of these colors derive their names from nature.
Iwanu iro (iwanu means "saying nothing" and iro is "color") is the reddish yellow color of kuchinashi (gardenia) fruits. Kuchinashi literally means "no mouth" as the fruits do not crack open when they ripen. Thus, the color is called iwanu, as the fruits "say nothing".
It is infinitely versatile; wear it around the neck, cover the head, wrap your lunchbox or use it however you'd like.
