Cotton Towel [TENUGUI] / KOMON / TATAMI

TATAMI

"TATAMI" is a traditional Japanese flooring material unique to Japan and a symbol of Japanese culture with no parallel in the world.

This "TENUGUI" is inspired by the distinctive patterns found on tatami mats.

"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.
