This method, utilising dyes, is the only one of its kind in Japan and can only be achieved at our factory.

What is Tenugui?

A tenugui is a traditional Japanese hand towel made of cotton that has been beloved in Japanese households for centuries. Its history dates back to the Nara period (710-784 AD), and it has evolved and remained a staple item in daily life ever since. As it is used, a tenugui becomes softer over time, making it increasingly comfortable to use. Tenugui is used for various purposes in Japanese culture, including wiping one's face or hands, or as a tool for cooking and cleaning. They are considered indispensable in Japanese daily life, cherished for both their practicality and aesthetic appeal, and continue to be treasured by many people today.

Tenugui Care Guide

The edges are raw cut, so there may be some fraying at first, but it will settle naturally.
Usually, hand washing with water is sufficient.
Please avoid using detergents with fluorescent agents or bleach, soaking it in water for extended periods, or exposing it to direct sunlight, as these can cause fading.
Be careful with high-temperature ironing as it can also cause discoloration.

"Kasane no Irome" Motif

-Natsu no Misaki-
Natsu no Misaki" evokes images of people playing by the sea, with lush greenery swaying around a white lighthouse. The colour pattern features refreshing hues, while the "Uroko Mon" motif, resembling fish or dragon scales, represents the water element.

-Kasane no Irome-
It refers to the traditional Japanese concept of colour layering.

In Japan, the rich seasonal changes create beautiful landscapes and nurture people's aesthetic sensibilities, leading them to incorporate nature's colours into their clothing.

Hirali reinterprets this Japanese colour culture, creating Tenugui that express seasonal hues with integrated designs, adding colour to daily life.
