Description
| Tie-dyeing Kyoto tenugui hand towel dyed by a traditional craftsman of Kyoto Kanoko shibori. [Tie-dye] Tie-dyeing is a technique that has been used since ancient times to create patterns on cloth. During the Nara period (710-794), many techniques were developed to dye patterns on clothes. When cloth is dyed using techniques such as tying with thread, sewing tight, and sandwiching with a board, blotches and blurring occur during dyeing. The charm of tie-dyeing is that even if the same lot of cloth is dyed, each piece will be dyed differently depending on the dyeing time and the overlap method. [Attention to the fabric -Sarashi Tokuoka-]] The fabric is stuffed into a kettle and slowly burned in a gentle stream of water over a period of 2 to 3 days. This process does not stress the fabric, resulting in a soft and absorbent finish. Because of its good air permeability* and water absorbency, it dries quickly even if it gets wet, and the more it is washed, the more it becomes accustomed to its surroundings. *Wasarashi, woven with a small width fabric, can be said to be a Japanese culture. In the days when there were no towels, it was used as a yukata (Japanese bathrobe) for wiping hands and as a nightclothes for sleeping. *There are three types of WASARASHI, each with a different thread count and width. Tokuoka, which is used for our products, has a soft touch and is used for yukata (light cotton kimono) because of the large number of threads used. [Tatsumaki Shibori]. The fabric is made into a bar shape and dyed by wrapping the threads around it in a spiral shape. It is said that the name "Tatsumaki" comes from its dragon-like appearance. [Long size series]. The length is 20cm longer than usual so that you can use it as a towel when you travel. The design also allows you to use it as a handkerchief if you cut it into three equal pieces.

京鹿の子絞りの伝統工芸士が染め上げる【絞り染め 京てぬぐい】
【絞り染め】
古くから布に模様を付けるための技法として生まれた絞り染め。
奈良時代には多くの技が生まれ、衣服の模様を染め出しました。
糸で縛る・縫い締める・板で挟む などの技法を使い布を染めると染め際に生じる「にじみ」や「ぼかし」。同じロットで染めたとしても染まる時間や重なり方で1点1点が異なる染め上がりになるのが絞り染めの魅力と言えます。
【生地へのこだわり -晒 徳岡-】
釜に生地を詰めて緩やかな水流で2〜3日ゆっくりと時間をかけて焚き込みます。
そのため生地にストレスがかからず、柔らかで吸水性の良い仕上がりになります。
通気性・吸水性が良いため濡れてもすぐに乾き、洗うほどに馴染んでまいります。
＊小巾織物で織られた和晒は日本の文化とも言えます。タオルがない時代には、手を拭うもの就寝時は浴衣・寝巻として使用され、日本人の生活必需品として永く愛されてきました。
＊和晒の種類は、「文・岡・特岡」と3種類ほどあり、それぞれ糸の打ち込みや巾が異なります。
商品で使用している特岡は、打ち込み本数が多いため浴衣の生地としても使用されるほど「柔らかな肌触り」が特徴です。
【竜巻絞り】
生地を棒状にして糸をらせん状に巻きつけて染めます。その姿が竜に見える事からその名がついたと言われております。
【ロングサイズシリーズ】
ご旅行の際のタオル変わり等にも使って頂けるよう、通常の長さより20cm長く仕上げております。また、三等分に切って頂くと「ハンカチ」としてもお使い頂けるデザインとなっております。
