Tenugui of the Week: Spring game with the “Haru to Asobu”
Welcome to our "Tenugui of the Week"! With this radiant image, we capture the pure joy of life and lightness of the Japanese spring.
A Springtime Play in a Sea of Rapeseed Blossoms This cheerful tenugui bears the fitting name Haru to Asobu , which translates beautifully as "Springtime Play." The design depicts two playful white cats chasing small butterflies amidst bright yellow rapeseed blossoms ( nanohana ). The clear blue sky and the bright sunbeams in the background lend the motif a wonderfully radiant, almost childlike, cheerful atmosphere.
Masterful hand-printed fabric from Yokohama . This scarf is made by our partner manufacturer HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. The brilliant, vibrant colors and the subtle, gentle color gradients – especially in the pink sky – are only possible thanks to the traditional Yokohama wet -printing technique. In this process, the dye is applied layer by layer by hand to a specially woven, chlorine-free bleached cotton (ECO-Bleaching).
Excellent quality. That this is genuine Japanese craftsmanship is officially confirmed: The Tenugui has been awarded the prestigious OMOTENASHI Selection Gold Award – an important seal for authentic quality and outstanding design in Japan.
Versatile in everyday life Whether as a classic towel, as sustainable gift wrapping, as a colorful table runner or together with our magnetic picture strip as wall decoration – this Tenugui brings spring into every room.
