This fabric, simple yet strong, features a design with formality and elegance, symbolizing Edo culture, and has been loved for a long time.
By using it as tapestry or wall decoration, it creates a “quiet and refined” atmosphere in the space.
Recommended for everyday use such as handkerchiefs, fukins (cleaning cloths), and wrapping cloths or as a lapping item.
Dyed Brand “Rienzome”
Rienzome is a dyed brand created by the old shop “Todaya Shoten” during the Meiji era.
Chusen dyeing is a unique Japanese traditional technique where the dye is poured onto the cloth, resulting in vivid colors without a back pattern. The beauty of irregularities and blurs is a flavor that cannot be reproduced by machine dyeing.
The Rienzome fabric is highly absorbent and quick-drying, perfect for daily use. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes, making it gentle on the skin and loved for a long time.
The design broadly develops from traditional Edo patterns that evoke Edo’s elegance to modern patterns that suit contemporary tastes. It balances practicality and design, making it ideal as a gift.
