Kunisu Shokudo Chusen Dyed Cotton Tenugui Hand Towel

Order via Japan Rabbit

Add color and charm to your daily routine with the original Chusen Tenugui from Kunisu Shokudo. Crafted in Ikaruga, Nara by the artisans at Chusen Kobo, this 100 percent cotton hand towel features charming original illustrations that capture the spirit of the beloved dining spot. Because it is dyed by hand using traditional yukata dyeing techniques, no two towels are identical; the subtle, delicate variations created by skilled craftspeople make every piece a small treasure.

Tenugui are traditional Japanese cotton cloths known for their versatility. They work beautifully as hand towels, dish cloths, or even wall art. The chusen technique lets dye soak deep into the fibers, leaving soft gradients and vivid patterns across the fabric.

Made in Japan and measuring about 33 by 90 cm, this brand new towel brings a piece of authentic Japanese craft into your home. Since it is hand-dyed, some color bleeding is normal: wash it by hand, separately from other laundry, and avoid leaving it wet for long periods, as color transfer can occur.
