Traditional Patterns Reflecting Japanese Aesthetics
"Maga-ki" refers to rough woven circles made from bamboo and rods.
From ancient times, these patterns have colored people’s daily lives, and depending on the region, they have also been called "Mase," "Maga-ki," or "Mase-ki."
Patterns like the lattice door of a teahouse or "Kami-maga" (a pattern welcoming gods) deeply connect with both the aspects of daily life and faith.
This pattern represents a traditional "Maga" motif infused with modern dyeing techniques. While simple and rustic, the finished product resonates deeply with the hearts of those who use it.
Use it for handkerchiefs, bento wraps, or lunch mats. When framed and displayed, it adds a subtle touch to Japanese-modern interior spaces.
It is a refined item loved as a souvenir for visitors from overseas and those who appreciate Japanese culture.
Dyed Brand "Rienzome"
Rienzome is a brand established during the Meiji era by the old store "Toda-ya Shoten."
Chusen (tie-dyeing) is a unique Japanese traditional technique characterized by dyeing fabric vividly without a backing color by injecting dye into cloth. The beauty of subtle gradations and blurriness cannot be reproduced by mechanical dyeing.
The Rienzome technique excels in water absorption and quick drying, making it perfect for everyday use. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes and it fits your skin comfortably, allowing long-term enjoyment.
The design draws inspiration from traditional patterns of Edo’s kimono, broadly expanding to modern patterns that suit contemporary tastes. Combining practicality and design, it is also ideal as a gift.
