Chusen Tenugui Kyoto

[Machine Translation] Shizome is a traditional dyeing method, which is rare nowadays, in which craftsmen dye fabrics by pouring dye into the fabric. Since the dye can be applied to the core of the fabric while maintaining its softness, it is characterized by the vivid colors of the patterns on both sides of the fabric. Because it is handmade by craftsmen, the finished hand towel shows individuality such as blotting, unevenness, and scuffing. The more you use it, the more you get used to it as your own hand towel, and enjoy the way the texture grows.

注染とは、今となっては珍しい伝統的な染色方法で、職人が染料を注いで生地を染める技法のことです。生地の柔らかさを保ちつつ芯まで染めることが出来るので、絵柄が裏表無く色鮮やかに映えるのが特徴です。職人による手作りのため、仕上がった手拭にはにじみやムラやカスレなどの個性があらわれます。使うほどに自分の手拭としてなじんでいき、風合いが育つさまをお楽しみください。
