Kyo-Yuzen Dyed Hand Cloth – A Canvas of Kyoto’s Timeless Beauty

This Kyo-Yuzen Dyed Tenugui embodies the delicate artistry and seasonal sensibility of Kyoto. Using traditional Kyo-Yuzen hand-dyeing techniques, each piece is crafted with meticulous brushwork and vivid colors that express scenes from nature — flowers, birds, flowing water, and gentle breezes.

Originally used as a multipurpose Japanese hand towel, the tenugui today is cherished for its versatility and beauty — it can be used as a table decoration, wall art, or even a thoughtful gift wrapping.

Each tenugui is hand-dyed by artisans who carry forward Kyoto’s long-standing textile heritage, ensuring that no two are ever exactly alike — a unique expression of craftsmanship and elegance.
