Cotton Towel [TENUGUI] / KOMON / SHIMA

SHIMA

The traditional Japanese pattern "SHIMA" (stripes) is a simple yet richly expressive design cherished in Japan for centuries.

It consists of thin, evenly spaced lines, with variations in width and spacing creating a wide range of looks.

This timeless pattern complements a variety of styles, both Japanese and Western.

"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.
