Kurasu Traditional Yuzen-Dyeing Tenugui

Q: Details

Size: 35×90cmMaterial: 100% CottonMade in Kyoto, Japan

A new original “Tenugui” has arrived!

Tenugui is a thin but durable cotton cloth that’s been loved in Japan for centuries- a super fast-drying piece of cloth that can be used to wipe, wrap, tie, decorate…you name it, and it comes in all kinds of amazing colors and designs.

The ends are not sewn so that the cloth dries even faster than a regular towels, which makes it very convenient to use outdoors and less susceptible to mold.

In this new original design, Kurasu’s logo was turned into a cute, pixel art style pattern dyed using Yuzen dyeing technique, making a classical and beautiful indigo blue tenugui.

While our previous original tenugui was produced with modern dye-printing, this time we asked a textile dyer in Kyoto that offers a traditional Kyoto style Yuzen dyeing technique.

We are so happy to share this traditional textile art through our original product series-and the texture is just lovely.

Tenugui is a very versatile little thing, and it’s perfect for wrapping small gifts, using it in a kitchen, and the refreshing indigo blue makes a great gift on its own as well.
