Japanese zodiac (1st) - Mouse
Miya-zome retro design conveys gentle and warm feeling. Miya-zome tenugui are beautiful as well as durable for every day use.
The design is crafted by handcarving and hand-dyed with an unique method "Chu-sen". Dyes penetrate deeply to every fabric yarn, and you can clearly see the reverse design image on the backside of the tenugui. Moreover, Chu-sen tenugui removes sweats and water very well even if the design looks decorative. If you compare a Chu-sen tenugui with pigment printed one, you will see the difference. The production process is introduced in the article here. Please enjoy this beautiful tenugui for any occasion.
Notice 1: Every tenugui is folded in a plastic bag for shipping.
Notice 2: About Kendo tenugui - if you are looking for an approximately 100 cm long Kendo Men (headscarf) tenugui, please check the dimensions listed below. Most of our tenugui are 90 cm long. 90 cm length tenugui would be still good for kids and ladies, but 100 cm length may be more suitable for adult men. All of our tenugui are created by "Chu-sen" dye (not pigment printing) method and they remove sweats very well, even if the design looks decorative.
Please take a look at our brochure HERE (4.8MB PDF) showing the tenugui demonstration at western homes.
