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.

Learn how to use tenugui to wrap bottles, lunches and much more in the Rikumo Journal.

Please note: Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems to maximize drying speeds, 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 with time.

As this product is hand-dyed, you may experience color loss/bleeding. Hand wash separately with cold water and mild detergent.
