This hand-printed tenugui (hand towel) delicately depicts wax plum blossoms and pussy willows as winter flowers in Kyoto, which bloom in the Imperial Palace.
What is hand-printing?
In hand-printing, a mold is made for each color and colored glue is applied with a spatula, allowing the colors to permeate the fabric one by one.
Therefore, it requires a matured technique to determine the degree of dye penetration. The delicacy of the pattern and the penetration of color are unique to Kyoyuzen hand printing.
