KIKKO

As its name suggests, the "KIKKO" pattern resembles a tortoise shell and has long been cherished in Japan as an auspicious motif symbolizing longevity, prosperity, and good relationships.

This hand-dyed "TENUGUI" makes a thoughtful gift for weddings, celebrations of long life, or as a souvenir for visitors from abroad.

"TENUGUI" is a hand-dyed rectangular cloth that has been used daily in Japan since ancient times.

"KOMON" means "small patterns" in Japanese, and this collection features a series of "TENUGUI" adorned with these traditional KOMON designs.

Many of these KOMON patterns are traditional motifs cherished by common people for over 100 years. Each pattern has its own name and meaning, carrying a unique story behind it.
