Cotton Towel [TENUGUI] / KOMON / Japanese Umbrellas

Japanese Umbrellas

This small-pattern design resembles the view of a traditional Japanese umbrella (WAGASA) seen from directly above.

Though monochrome, it carries a sense of elegance and charm.
When worn around the neck or over the head, it adds a touch of modern sophistication.

"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.
