Tenugui towels that add elegance to your space
This tenugui is made of cotton and linen fabric, with the warp made of cotton and the weft made of hemp. The soft round florets add a touch of beauty to the mustard-colored and ink-colored base.
The hemp content makes it breathable and absorbent, making it comfortable even during sweaty seasons and summer. The great thing about it is that it dries easily, so you can handle it without stress even after washing.
Can be used as a hand towel or cloth in the kitchen, as a table centerpiece or runner for interior decoration, as an accent for a stole or neck wrap, for wrapping small items or gift wrapping.
This is a piece that can be used in various scenes of life.
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.
