More about tenugui


Very beautiful as well as durable Easy to clean, machine washable Removes sweats very well, even if the design

looks decorative Dries quickly, and sanitary Hand-dyed by traditional method “Chu-sen”

Hand-dyed tenugui are more natural feeling. Machine-printed designs looks so straight and artificial that they make you get bored. There exist no so straight lines in the nature!

About Chu-sen method (1/2)

Hand-cutting stencil Paste protection Pour color dye

Chu-sen is a dye method invented in Osaka in the year of 1900 for producing economy textiles for mass consumption. Dyes are poured over the surface of tenugui cloths from a pitcher, and a vacuum pump set beneath sucks the dyes quickly. This method enables overlapped 20 tenugui cloths being dyed at the same time.

Chu-sen dyeing process – everything handmade!


About Chu-sen method (2/2)

Chu-sen tenugui absorbs water and sweat quickly, has good cotton feeling, and is selectable from a wide variety of beautiful designs.

Chu-sen dyed tenugui is double-sided design. Both sides are beautifully dyed. You can enjoy the symmetry images.

If you compare with a pigment printed tenugui, you can tell the clear difference of beauty. Chu-sen tenugui has more natural tastes than 'printed' tenugui.

Tenugui edges not stitched Both edges not stitched intentionally to be dried quickly. This will cause thread loosing, however, the loosing will stop after a while. So, don’t worry!

This is something we would like you to know in order to avoid misunderstanding. This photograph depicts the tenugui edge after being washed several times.
