Dyed Towel "Yusuraume"
Design: Yumi Ishikita / Dyeing: Hamamatsu Dyeing Workshop
This is a dyed towel called Yusuraume, which, when used as a hand towel, evokes a gentle and somewhat nostalgic scenery.
Based on the design by dyer Yumi Ishikita, the Hamamatsu Dyeing Workshop carefully dyed each piece one by one.
The beautiful gradation unique to dyeing and the depth of the dye without a front or back side add a gentle colorfulness to your daily life. It is also recommended as an interior accent or a gift.
