Kamawanu Tenugui - Blue Dots White

From the textile experts at Kamawanu comes this series of vividly designed and beautifully illustrated tenugui - multipurpose textiles that have been used for centuries as towels, accessories, gift wraps, souvenirs, wall art, and more. This reversible collection is dyed using the traditional chusen method first practiced during Japan's Meiji era more than a century ago. Available in more than a dozen eye-catching varieties.

Please note: Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems, which means that some initial fraying is normal. Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim them with scissors. The frayed edge will develop a natural fringe over time.

About Tenugui
A tenugui is a thin Japanese textile that typically measures 35 cm in width and 90 cm in length. Like furoshiki, tenugui can be used to wrap gifts and other items, but they have many more uses besides: In some households, tenugui function as absorbent and fast-drying towels and washcloths, and their vibrant patterns make them well-suited to decorative roles as table runners, placemats, wall hangings - the sky’s the limit! For this reason, tenugui are often given as gifts or souvenirs by travelers returning from Japan.

LINK Furoshiki "Hida Express" - Navy

Printed using traditional methods in a workshop on the outskirts of Tokyo, this multipurpose furoshiki is perfect for gift-wrapping, carrying, wearing, or simply displaying. Each style is created by a collective of female designers and artists. 

From the artist: “The Hida Express is a limited express train that runs from Toyoma to Takayama through the Japanese Alps. On this journey, all sense of time and orientation seemed to disappear as we snaked, sped, crawled, ambled, rocketed and twisted through mountain upon mountain, every turn revealing rushing rivers and glinting waterfalls only momentarily glanced.” — Hannah Waldron

LINK Furoshiki “Tokyo” - Glow in the Dark

Printed using traditional methods in a workshop on the outskirts of Tokyo, this multipurpose furoshiki is perfect for gift-wrapping, carrying, wearing, or simply displaying. Each style is created by a collective of female designers and artists. 

This style features a special technique that allows for glow-in-the-dark inks using silk screens. The ink absorbs natural light during the day and radiates a soft glow at night. Unlike some glow-in-the-dark inks, it is soft to the touch, so it can be worn comfortably. 

From the artist: “Arriving in Tokyo city in that magic time between night and day, our train meanders through a Tetris-like metropolis, we become enveloped in a world of blocks, but as we look more we begin to see the traces of times past. Windows appear to flicker on and off, as people come and go, the city that never sleeps welcomes us with its glow.” — Hannah Waldron

Ise Tenugui - Pleasure

Tenugui are a type of traditional Japanese textile with a characteristically smooth texture that dries easily. 100% cotton, hand-dyed and cut by hand, the colorful patterns recall traditional and contemporary Japanese prints. This multipurpose textile lends a pop of color to your every day - use it as a tea towel, placemat, table runner, head scarf, tapestry, lunch tote, gift wrap… the possibilities are endless! For inspiration and instructions, check out the rikumo journal.

Please note: Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems, which means that some initial fraying is normal. Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim them with scissors. The frayed edge will develop a natural fringe over time.

About SOU•SOU
Use of the Japanese phrase sou sou - meaning "yes, yes" - offers more than an affirmative response; it's a way to validate another person and establish a sense of community. The SOU•SOU textile collection created by celebrated designer Karsuji Wakisaka aims to do much the same by offering colorful designs that bring us together. Drawing on the landscape around Kyoto and the mod styles of the 1960s, Wakisaka seeks to revitalize age-old Japanese styles by combining traditional shapes with contemporary patterns.

Materials: Cotton
Dimensions: Width: 14" Length: 35"
Care: Edges are left seamless for absorbency and quick drying. To discourage fraying, trim loose threads with a pair of scissors and throw in the washing machine. The fabric will naturally tighten after repeated usage.

This beautiful white-and-blue print is dyed with shibori, an ancient Japanese indigo dye technique. The Shibori Tenugui series was created in collaboration with master shibori artists from Kyoto, who designed modern interpretations of traditional Japanese prints for this project. Glide on the frozen sheets of a snowy lake in this beautiful block-print style. Learn how to use tenugui towels to wrap bottles, lunches, and much more in the rikumo journal.

Please note: Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems, which means that some initial fraying is normal. Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim them with scissors. The frayed edge will develop a natural fringe over time.

About SOU•SOU
Use of the Japanese phrase sou sou - meaning "yes, yes" - offers more than an affirmative response; it's a way to validate another person and establish a sense of community. The SOU•SOU textile collection created by celebrated designer Karsuji Wakisaka aims to do much the same by offering colorful designs that bring us together. Drawing on the landscape around Kyoto and the mod styles of the 1960s, Wakisaka seeks to revitalize age-old Japanese styles by combining traditional shapes with contemporary patterns.

Materials: Cotton
Dimensions: Width: 14" Length: 35"
Care: The edges of a tenugui towel are left seamless for increased absorbency and quick drying. To discourage fraying, trim loose threads with a pair of scissors and throw in the washing machine. The fabric will naturally tighten after repeated usage.

Shibori Tenugui - Asanoha

A type of thin Japanese cotton textile, tenugui towels are traditionally given as gifts and can be used for everything from wrapping gifts to drying dishes. This beautiful white-and-blue print is dyed with shibori, an ancient Japanese indigo dye technique. The Shibori Tenugui series was created in collaboration with master shibori artists from Kyoto, who designed modern interpretations of traditional Japanese prints for this project. In this style, a shower of auspicious asanoha hemp leaves - often seen in kimono - falls from the sky like snowflakes. Learn how to use tenugui towels to wrap bottles, lunches, and much more in the rikumo journal.

Please note: Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems, which means that some initial fraying is normal. Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim them with scissors. The frayed edge will develop a natural fringe over time.

Care: As this product is hand-dyed, you may experience color loss/bleeding. Hand wash separately with cold water and mild detergent. The edges of tenugui towels are seamless, meaning the weft (horizontal thread) at either end will fray with use. Trim any loose strings with scissors. This process will stop after a small fringe forms.
