Tenugui | Rice Tub | Pure Dyeing | Ishikita Yumi

Dyed tenugui "Rice Tub"

Design: Ishikita Yumi/Dyeing: Hamamatsu's Journey Dyeing Workshop

 

This is a tetraditional tenugui with a rice ball motif that gives off a calm, nostalgic feel to its scenery.

Based on the designs by dyer Ishikita Yumi, Hamamatsu's meticulous dyeing workshop carefully dyes each piece.

 

The beautiful bleeding that is unique to piping dyeing and the depth of the dyeing that is both non-sided and side-like will gently add color to your everyday life.

It is also recommended as an accent for your interior or as a gift.

Since all dyeing is done by hand, there will be individual differences in the degree of dye bleeding and how the color is applied.

There may be some uneven color or undyed areas, but we hope you will enjoy this unique flavor that can only be achieved by hand dyeing.

 

[Glue] Left

This is the process of using a pattern to place anti-dye glue on the part of the pattern you want to leave behind white.

This glue prevents the dye from getting into the fabric, and the outline of the pattern is clearly visible.

 

[Dyeing (Dyeing)] Right

This is the process of using a tool called a "ket" to pour dye on top.

The dye poured in will soak into the underside of the fabric, resulting in a beautiful finish with no front or back.

The bleeding and shaking that can only be achieved by hand also has the taste of piping.

 

[Wash] Left

The dyed cloth is carefully washed in an aquarium to remove excess dye and glue.

This washing will solidify the color and create a soft texture.

 

 

[Dry] Right

After washing, hang the cloth high and let it dry with natural breeze and light.

The sight of the swaying in the wind is one of the beautiful scenery that can only be found in shio.
