Chusen dyeing brand “Rionzome”
Rienzome is a brand produced by the long-established Todaya Shoten, which was founded in the Meiji era.
Chusen is a traditional Japanese technique that is unique to Japan and is characterized by pouring dye into the cloth to create a bright color on both sides. The beauty of blurring and blurring is a unique handicraft quality that cannot be reproduced by machine dyeing.
Rion-dyed tenugui have excellent water absorption and quick drying properties, making them perfect for everyday use. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes and the more it blends into your skin, so you can use it for a long time.
The designs range from traditional patterns that evoke the elegance of the Edo period to modern patterns that suit modern lifestyles. It combines practicality and design and is perfect as a gift.
