Born from traditional techniques, a hand-printed soybean paste cloth
“Mameshibori” is a representative hand-printed soybean paste cloth continuing from Edo period.
It was once also called “Edahagi,” and was loved as a regular cloth for festivals and the rustic atmosphere of the Edo front.
This locally dyed soybean paste cloth conveys the meaning of such tradition even today.
A traditional yet dry and crisp design.
Used as handkerchiefs or fukins in kitchens and washbasins, it is also recommended as Japanese-style interior decoration, such as wall hangings or hanging cloths.
Resist dyeing brand “Rienzome”
Rienzome is a brand created by the old artisan “Todaya Shop” from the Meiji era.
Resist dyeing (Chusen) is a unique Japanese traditional technique, characterized by injecting dye into fabric so that it is vividly dyed without losing the reverse side. The beauty of the pattern and gradation is a craftsmanship that cannot be reproduced by machine dyeing.
The Rienzome technique excels in water absorption and quick drying, making it perfect for daily use. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes, and it gently fits your skin, so you can cherish it for a long time.
The design widely develops from traditional cloths that evoke the atmosphere of Edo to modern patterns that suit contemporary tastes. Combining practicality and design, it is also ideal as a gift.
