Tenugui “Haru to Asobu” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Haru to Asobu” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

Spring play in the sea of rapeseed blossoms

This tenugui depicts two playful white cats happily chasing a butterfly among bright yellow rapeseed blossoms (nanohana) . The clear blue sky and bright sunbeams in the background lend the motif a radiant, almost childlike, cheerful atmosphere. It perfectly captures the lightness and joy of Japanese spring.

The cloth is manufactured by the Yokohama-based family business HAMAMONYO , which specializes in the Yokohama wet dyeing technique. This technique enables particularly fine color gradients and high washability. The cotton fabric used was developed specifically for tenugui production, is chlorine-free bleached, pleasantly soft, and skin-friendly.

A sunny motif with a high feel-good factor – ideal as a gift, decoration or small spring greeting.

The motif was awarded the “Gold Award” by the OMOTENASHI Selection – a sign of excellent Japanese design, quality and craftsmanship.
