Tenugui “Noryo Hanabi” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan
Tenugui “Noryo Hanabi” – Japanese cotton cloth
Summer evening in motion
This tenugui captures the atmosphere of a Japanese summer evening with all its sensory impressions. 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.
At the center are colorful fireworks (hanabi, 花火) unfolding across a dark night sky. At the bottom, goldfish (kingyo, 金魚) swim through flowing eddies of water—a traditional summertime motif. The composition harmonizes light, movement, and stillness. Colors and lines create a sense of depth and celebratory lightness.
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.
