Tenugui “Natsuyume Moyou” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Natsuyume Moyou” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

A summer dream of light and sound

This tenugui combines typical symbols of the Japanese summer in a gentle, dreamy composition. It is manufactured by the family-run company HAMAMONYO in Yokohama – a manufacturer with over 75 years of experience in the traditional wet-print dyeing technique (Yokohama Nassen). The motif is hand-printed on a fine cotton fabric that is bleached without chlorine and specially developed for tenugui production. It is soft, skin-friendly, and pleasantly light.

It depicts blooming morning glory (朝顔, asagao) , a delicately chiming wind chime (風鈴, fūrin) , swimming goldfish , and rising fireworks . The scene is framed by a round window that offers a view of the outdoors—as if from a cool, shady room. The color scheme in delicate yellow and blue tones underscores the tranquil lightness of this summer motif.

Whether as a towel, gift wrapping (furoshiki), headband, table runner or decoration: This tenugui is versatile, easy to care for and accompanies everyday life with quiet quality.

The motif was awarded the OMOTENASHI Selection Gold Award in 2022 – a tribute to Japanese hospitality, craftsmanship and design.
