Gentle and gorgeous Japanese classic pattern
A somewhat retro and elegant design that combines cloves, which have been prized for medicinal purposes, fragrances, and dyes since the Heian period, and arabesques, which pray for the prosperity and longevity of descendants.
The material is 100% cotton, which is soft to the touch and has a rich texture. Only natural materials can give you a feeling of warmth every time you touch it.
The delicate arabesque pattern is casually gorgeous and goes well with any occasion, whether it's in the kitchen or going out. Not only can it be used as a hand towel, but it can also be used as a lunch wrapper, tapestry, or as an accent by wrapping it around your neck.
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.
