Tissues

Everyone seems to carry packages of tissues with them at all times. Papa, Big Sister and Little Brother carry a handkerchief and at least one package of tissues in their pockets. (I carry mine in my bag.) They need a handkerchief for the restroom at school and at the office. Most Tokyo public restrooms in our area have paper towels these days.

Packages of tissues are used as advertising. People stand on the streets (usually around stations) and hand them out to passersby. The package in the top left hand corner has an advertisement on the plastic packaging. The smaller packages are for kindergarteners and pre-schoolers. The white package with the bunny face has lotion type tissues. They are really soft.

Do a blog search to see handkerchiefs.
