Tenugui “Sakasa Fuji” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Sakasa Fuji” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

Between reflection and reality

This tenugui combines classic Japanese landscape painting with artisanal precision. 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.

The image depicts an inverted Mount Fuji (さかさ富士) , reflected in the calm water—a powerful, timeless motif. The composition radiates calm, clarity, and depth. It represents the harmony between nature and perception, between reflection and reality. The delicate blossoms in the foreground underscore the quiet luminosity of this scene.

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.
