Japanese cotton towel Nijiyura in Nihonbashi
The authentic art of tenugui hand-dyeing at your fingertips
The Osaka-born “chuusen” dyeing technique is now available for you to try on your own tenugui towel. In just under 1.5 hours you can finish a vibrant, one-of-a-kind tenugui towel as a special memento of your trip.
Tenugui are the traditional cloth used in Japanese culture to wrap items, dry the hands or used to fashion as a scarf.
Select your favorite color and dye a one-of-a-kind piece that lasts.
You can even shop for special tenugui only available at COREDO Muromachi Terrace, including iconic Japanese images and designs.
Workshop At at Glance (approx. 90 min.)
1. Apply the Glue
Once the paper comes together it’s treated with a dying paste and folded as a single accordion like sheet.
2. Glue & Dyeing
Make a little mountains of paste to work in so no unnecessary dye bleeds out and begin adding in the dye.
3. Wash by Hand
Rinse once the dye setting is complete. Wash off the dyeproof paste and any excess dye.
4. Drying
Once the fabric is thoroughly washed, just wait for it to dry!
