A soothing dango tenugui
A design that expresses the adorable shape of a rolling dango with a continuous pattern of stripes and circles.
The design is reminiscent of the simple sweetness of red bean paste and matcha, giving it the familiarity and elegance of wrapping paper from a sweets shop. A tenugui that you can snuggle up to during tea time or after a meal.
The 100% cotton material is gentle on the skin and gets softer the more you use it. You can feel the warmth of the material every time you touch it, which is unique to natural materials.
The pattern has a perfect balance of cuteness and simplicity and is easy to choose as a gift. It's also a perfect gift for those with a sweet tooth.
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.
