A design that was printed in Kyoto in the 1970s and exported to the United States by the Japanese trading company Triple Times California as a fabric for shirts. At that time only the fabrics existed and the manufacturer and brand that produced the shirts are still unknown. However since it is a highly complete fabric made by rubbing finely carved molds many times there is no doubt that it is a very excellent work by a skilled craftsman.The origin of the design is a hanging scroll of Tibetan Buddhism called "tanka". Originally intended for monks to explain the doctrine in an easy-to-understand manner during missionary work this fabric is also used in Tibetan Buddhist art such as the founder of Tibetan esoteric Buddhism "Paddmasambha" and the symbol of both men and women "Yab-Yum". The motifs that can be seen are printed. The title of the work "Mandala " means a circle in Sanskrit and is in a fulfilling state without excess or deficiency. It is also a picture showing the state of enlightenment and has been handed down in Japanese culture as a "mandala" where the gods and Buddha gather.

1970年代に京都で捺染され、日系の商社トリプル・タイムス・カリフォルニア社によってアメリカ向けにシャツ用の生地として輸出されたデザイン。当時の資料は生地しか現存しておらず、シャツとして生産したメーカーやブランドは未だに判明していない。しかし、緻密に彫られた型を幾重にも摺り重ねた完成度の高い生地であることから、熟練の職人による非常に優れた作品であることは間違いない。デザインの元となっているのは「タンカ」と呼ばれるチベット仏教の掛け軸。元々は僧侶が伝道の際に教義をわかりやすく解説するためのもので、この生地にもチベット密教の開祖である「パドマサンバヴァ」や男女両尊のシンボル「ヤブユム」など、チベットの仏教美術にみられるモチーフがプリントされている。作品名の「マンダラ」とは、サンスクリット語で輪という意味を持ち、過不足のない充実した状態。悟りの境地を示す図絵でもあり、神仏が集会(しゅうえ)する「曼荼羅」として日本の文化にも伝存している。
