Like Bon Jovi and the Carpenters, handkerchiefs are still big in Japan. In fact, when Mini-Bashcraft goes to school, he has to have a handkerchief in his pocket. Yes, that's what the school said! Guess they don't want him wiping snot on his sleeve or other children. So, to spice up boring handkerchiefs, patches are usually sewn or ironed on. And in this case, Mario.

If you are curious what a good, safe present is in Japan, well, handkerchiefs! Brian Ashcraft
