history
AND TRADITION
Originally used as accessories in Shinto rituals, "tenugui" gained popularity into the Edo period (1592-1868) and became an item necessary for daily life. In the Meiji period (1868-1912,) a dyeing technique called “Chusen” was devised, and revolutionized the industry. Nowadays, tenugui are viewed not only for their usefulness in daily life, but also for their artistic properties.
