Tenugui "Ume Murasaki"

A timeless interplay of elegant violet and golden yellow

This elegant tenugui is named Ume Murasaki Off – “Plum Violet on Natural White”. It features the distinctive, round blossoms of the ume (梅) , the Japanese plum, which often begins to bloom even in the snow as a harbinger of spring.

The composition captivates with its striking contrast between deep violet, soft lavender, and vibrant yellow. The golden-yellow stamens at the center of the blossoms lend the design an elegant touch. In Japanese culture, the plum blossom symbolizes purity and endurance, which is interpreted here in a modern, bold aesthetic.

The design comes from HAMAMONYO , a long-established textile manufacturer from Yokohama. Thanks to the Yokohama wet printing technique, the colors appear particularly vibrant and clear, even in subtle color gradients.
