Tenugui “Suzumi Mameshiba” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan
Tenugui “Suzumi Mameshiba” – Japanese cotton cloth
Summer break with Mameshiba
This tenugui depicts a resting Mameshiba (豆柴) —a particularly small breed of Shiba Inu—in front of a traditional Japanese house in summer. A kakigōri character (氷) on a flag suggests refreshing coolness, while green maple leaves (青もみじ) hang from the roof, casting shadows over the scene. Gentle gusts of wind stir the fūrin (風鈴, wind chimes) , adding to the relaxing atmosphere.
The cloth is manufactured by the traditional family business HAMAMONYO in Yokohama – a specialist in the Yokohama wet dyeing technique with over 75 years of experience. The cotton fabric used is chlorine-free bleached, soft, skin-friendly, and specially developed for tenugui production.
A lovingly drawn summer motif that reflects the typical Japanese mix of simplicity, tranquility, and closeness to nature – perfect for all dog lovers and Japan fans.
The motif was awarded the “Gold Award” by the OMOTENASHI Selection – a distinction for excellent craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
