An unconventional feast of beauty
At first glance, this piece has a simple design.
However, behind this is the ``feel of a craftsman who does not rely on molds'' and the ``beauty of color mixing created by the overlapping of colors.''
First, the three colors are dyed, then the patch cloth is turned over and the three colors are layered.The color bleeding created in this process gives each piece a different look.
The fluffy and soft polka dots give you a warm feeling every time you look at them. The cool atmosphere and freshness are perfect for summer living.
Not only can you use it as a tenugui on a daily basis, but you can also use it as a piece of art, such as placemats, towels, wall decorations, and wrapping.
The ``one-of-a-kind'' color that cannot be obtained through stencil dyeing and the nostalgic gentleness of polka dots make it a great gift for your loved ones.
Comfortable 100% cotton that fits your hands
Nijiyura's tenugui fabric is made from ``Sachisarashi,'' which is less warped and has a tight texture.
Made of Japanese bleached (traditional bleached) fabric that takes longer than usual to remove impurities, giving it a smooth texture that feels good on the skin.
The more you use it, the easier it becomes to handle, and the more you use it, the more it becomes a part of your daily life.
Japan's unique dyeing technique "chusen"
Chusen is a unique Japanese dyeing technique that was created in Osaka during the Meiji period.
By pouring the dye into the cloth and dyeing it, you can dye as many as 20 to 30 pieces of cloth at a time.
The main feature of this method is that the cloth is stacked in a bellows pattern and dyed twice from the front and back, resulting in a beautiful finish that does not distinguish between the front and back.
The process is diverse, and everything is done by hand by craftsmen. Therefore, no two items are exactly the same.
The most appealing aspect of chusen is the unique texture created by the delicate shading and soft bleeds that can only be achieved by handwork.
