Kamawanu’s Tenugui:

Kamawanu’s craftsmen make tenugui in large volumes using the “Chusen” dyeing technique--each tenugui is a bleached cotton cloth, and the dyeing process varies depending on the day’s weather, temperature, and humidity. Each tenugui is dyed by hand, creating a unique piece with each batch. Because of the dyeing technique used, colors will inevitably fade with each wash--however, the texture will also soften with each wash, a unique quality of the “Chusen” dyeing technique.
