Kyohanashi is a light, crisp tissue paper with a soft surface. It has been used in Japan for many centuries and it is still popular today, despite the introduction of Western-style tissue. The kind of kyohanashin called hanagami or chirigami (included in the capsule) is tucked into the sleeve of the kimono and used for the same purposes as a Western handkerchief.Another kind of kyohanashi called kaishi is used in the tea ceremony to clean the rim of the tea bowl before passing the bowl to another person.
