Tenugui towels that add just the right texture to your everyday life
A piece with a Japanese design that combines kagome (kagome) patterns, bringing calmness and warmth to your space and decor.
Fabrics made by interweaving cotton and linen are durable, breathable, and absorbent, making them useful in a variety of everyday situations.
The hemp content makes it breathable, making it comfortable even during sweaty seasons and summer. The great thing about it is that it dries easily, so you can handle it without stress even after washing.
The calm tones blend easily with the interior of both Japanese and Western rooms, and look great on wall hangings and table centerpieces, adding a dignified elegance to your space.
Chusen, a craftsmanship that has continued since the Meiji era
Kamawanu tenugui are made using a unique Japanese dyeing technique called chusen, which has been around since the Meiji era. By placing resist dyeing glue on the fabric and pouring the dye all at once, it can be used reversibly from both sides.
The process, which is mostly done by hand, creates a subtle "play" in the colors and patterns, and the more you use it, the more the texture changes. Each piece has a unique expression and will grow into a companion that will fit into your daily life.

[About fraying]
・Both ends of the tenugui are left uncut. When you first use it, it will fray, so please cut the weft threads with scissors. After washing a few times (2-3 times), it will settle down and become less likely to fray.
[About washing]
- When washing, wash by hand with plenty of water, gently smooth out wrinkles, and dry out of direct sunlight.
・Avoid leaving it wet, such as by soaking it.
-When you first use it, the excess dye will come off every time you wash it, but it will settle down after washing 2-3 times.
・Color may fade rapidly due to the bleaching effect of detergent.
- Using detergents containing bleach or strong alkaline detergents may damage and tear the fabric.
・Using hot water will warm up the tenugui, and depending on the dye, it may bleed and cause discoloration.
[Notes]
・In rare cases, the tenugui may emit a unique smell. The odor is often derived from the dye, so it will reduce as you wash and use it several times. Please use it with confidence.
-Colors may vary depending on the viewing environment.
