This product is a sensory scarf intended for children. Its design features original patterns created by Japanese-American artist Keiko Kira. The Biggest Little x Keiko Furoshiki Art Play Silk capsule is available in three distinct designs — dubbed Secret Garden, Hide and Seek, and Dots and Friends. The scarves are constructed from a blend of cotton and silk. They are marketed as a tool for [open-ended recreation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-toys). That is, the play-focused product is designed to encourage [imaginative applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset) — from being transformed into costumes and play forts to being use for canopies and as a blanket.
