Product Description
■Product Details.
Indigo-dyed tenugui hand towels with an image of the Suzuka Mountains, created under the theme 'Local to Local'.
The design of the tenugui towel shows a three-dimensional mountain range stretching from the front to the back in shades of colour. The delicate mountain pattern created by indigo dyeing spreads out beautifully and has a somewhat subdued feel to it. All of these patterns are hand-dyed by indigo dyeing artisan Namiho Konya.
Indigo dyeing artisan Namiho Konya is a rare craftsman who handles the entire process from cultivation to dyeing of the dyed indigo plant in the Chita Peninsula, Aichi Prefecture. The warm shades of indigo dye are achieved through a series of time-consuming processes, from the cultivation of the raw material used for indigo dyeing, to the production of the dye and dyeing.
This tenugui is a special item that combines local traditions and techniques, with the Suzuka Mountains of Mie Prefecture represented in Chita cotton and Chita indigo. It is a beautiful item that can be used in everyday life or displayed on a wall as an interior decoration.
All products are dyed by hand, one by one, with natural indigo.
Sometimes unevenness or lines may occur, but we hope you will enjoy the hand-dyed texture as such expressions are unique to the product.
Depending on how it is worn and handled, it will change over time in different ways. Please enjoy these changes over time and nurture them with your own hands.
