Tenugui “Kingyo no Yume Hanabi” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Kingyo no Yume Hanabi” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

A Midsummer Night's Dream with Goldfish and Fireworks

This tenugui depicts an atmospheric summer motif with swimming goldfish (金魚, kingyo) , floating maple leaves (青もみじ), and glowing fireworks reflected in the water. The background ranges from warm sunset pink to deep midnight blue—like a fleeting moment between day and night. A scene full of Japanese summer poetry.

This cloth is manufactured by the Yokohama-based family business HAMAMONYO , which specializes in the Yokohama wet dyeing technique. This technique ensures brilliant colors, smooth gradients, and high washability. The cotton fabric used is chlorine-free bleached, particularly pleasant on the skin, and was developed specifically for tenugui production.

The motif is reminiscent of a warm summer evening at the Matsuri festival – with a view of the water, a goldfish bowl in hand and the first rockets in the sky.

The design was awarded the “Gold Award” by the OMOTENASHI Selection – a recognition of Japanese design, craftsmanship and the art of capturing moods in images.
