Tenugui “Yūgure-zuki” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Yūgure-zuki” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

Dusk with moonlight and autumn leaves

A purple sky, a gentle moon over Mount Fuji, dancing maple leaves, and koi carp in the water – this tenugui depicts the beauty of a Japanese autumn evening in vibrant colors. The motif bears the poetic name夕暮れ月 (Yūgure-zuki) , which means "twilight moon."

At the top, Mount Fuji shimmers in soft white, while orange-red momiji (紅葉) —typical autumn leaves—are stirred by the breeze, setting the scene in motion. Koi fish (鯉) glide through the dark water, while above them, purple shadows and veils of mist herald the evening.

This atmospheric motif comes from the traditional Japanese company HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. The company uses the complex Yokohama wet technique, a special form of reactive printing, to create brilliant colors and fine details on chlorine-free bleached cotton.

Awarded the OMOTENASHI Selection Gold Award , this Tenugui represents excellent Japanese design and craftsmanship.
