“~Abundant colors~ Once-in-a-lifetime overlapping patterns and colors”

A mamesome tenugui with a deep layering of colors and a mysteriously gentle taste.

The world of Kyoto dyeing is condensed into a single tenugui.

The colors that feel deep are not created by toning, but are created by layering colors on multiple plates to express depth.

The colors bleed into each other, and even though they have the same pattern, each piece looks slightly different. We create a once-in-a-lifetime pattern.

The resist dyeing paste, which is made from rice, is washed off at the end to complete the process, but when you first use it, it has a crisp and sticky texture. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes. If you want to soften it quickly, wash it by hand with hot water to remove the glue and give it a new texture.

Umbrella pattern

"Good luck" "Development" "Talisman"

Umbrellas began to be patterned in the middle of the Edo period, and have the connotations of ``good luck'' and ``development'' as auspicious objects that lead to expansion.

It is also called a snake-eye umbrella because when it is unfolded, it looks like a snake's eye, and it has also been given the meaning of ``amulet from evil spirits'', as it is shaped like the eyes of a snake used by the gods.

This umbrella pattern, which shows colorful and rhythmic movement in the midst of a blizzard of cherry blossoms, is a very auspicious pattern that looks like a scene from Kabuki.
