Cotton Towel [TENUGUI] / KOMON / KUSA

KUSA

The pattern, named "KUSA" (meaning "grass" in Japanese), is an abstraction of traditional grass motifs found in classic ceramics such as Koimari porcelain. 

Its simple design, drawn with a consistent rhythm, makes it versatile and especially recommended for kitchen and dining settings.

"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.
