Chu-dyed tenugui “Yusuraume”
Design: Yumi Ishikita / Dyeing: Hamamatsu Chuzome Studio
A hand-dyed tenugui with a motif of Yusuraume that evokes a gentle and somewhat nostalgic landscape.
Based on the design by dyer Yumi Ishikita, each piece was carefully dyed by a dyeing workshop in Hamamatsu.
The beautiful bleeds that are unique to Chusen and the depth of the dyeing, which is both inside and out, gently add color to your daily life. Recommended as an interior accent or gift.

Manufacturing process
Because all of the dyeing is done by hand, there are individual differences in how the dye bleeds and how the color enters.
