The Edamame Tenugui Hand Towel features playful silhouettes of edamame beans, a beloved Japanese food staple, set against a vibrant springtime green background. This towel is crafted using the traditional Chusen dyeing method, a hand-dyeing technique performed by skilled artisans who carefully infuse dyes into the fabric. The result is a beautifully dyed towel with vibrant colors and patterns on both sides, a hallmark of this unique process.

Unlike machine printing, Chusen dyeing ensures each towel is one-of-a-kind, with slight variations in color intensity and motif placement. Made from soft yet durable Chita cotton, known for its excellent absorption and quick-drying properties, this towel is as functional as it is beautiful. Gentle hand washing is recommended to preserve the rich dyes. Versatile and practical, this tenugui can be used as a kitchen towel, tablecloth, or for wrapping bento boxes. It’s a perfect addition to any home, bringing both art and utility. Part of a complete collection of artisan-made kitchen towels featuring various motifs and colors, available exclusively on JOC Goods.

Please Note: Pre-washing traditional Japanese hand towels (tenugui) is essential to prevent color bleeding and soften the fabric. To care for your tenugui, hand-wash it in cold water without detergent, rinsing it multiple times if necessary. After washing, air-dry the tenugui in the shade to preserve its vibrant colors. It is also recommended to store the tenugui away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Following these steps will help maintain its beauty and durability over time.
