The motif is the national treasure "Choju Jinbutsu Giga," a picture scroll handed down at Kozan-ji Temple in Kyoto, and the orange color, which is the corporate color of BEAMS and carries the auspicious meaning of "prosperity for generations to come," has been adopted.
The original caricature consists of four volumes, A, B, C, and D, of which A and B were produced in the late Heian period and C, D, in the early Kamakura period. It is a masterpiece of caricature that is world-famous.
The soft, fine microfiber material is able to pick up small stains, making it ideal for wiping easily scratched items such as cell phone screens and glasses.

The company was founded with the spirit of "Jin" (benevolence), and has passed that spirit on through successive generations of the company, who have taken on the name "Jin." As times have changed, the company has changed its business to buy and sell cotton fabrics and sell rayon, and is currently focused on dyeing and design. Influenced by traditional culture, the company has carved out its own path by dyeing designs cultivated in Kyoto.
