Capturing the gentle summer breeze with hand towels
The delicate pattern of dew grass created by line drawing expresses a moment of warmth amidst the heat, captured in a hand towel.
The subtle layering of water-colored spots on the dyed fabric visually conveys a “lightness” and “refreshing feeling” as if the breeze is passing through. It quietly adds a touch of comfort to the hot season.
Stylish and versatile, these towels are perfect as headscarves, neck accessories, or even as interior décor when framed or hung on walls.
The 100% cotton fabric becomes softer with use, enhancing its gentle texture against the skin. It makes a perfect seasonal gift for your loved ones.
The dyeing technique "Chusen" passed down from the Meiji era artisans
Kamawanu’s hand towels are crafted using the unique Japanese dyeing technique "Chusen" (tie-dyeing) that has been passed down since the Meiji period. By preventing dye from penetrating the fabric on the reverse side and dyeing the fabric in one go, it creates reversible patterns without any backing.
During the handcrafting process, subtle “playfulness” appears in the color and pattern, which changes with use. Each piece is unique, developing into a companion that gradually becomes more familiar with you.
