KAMAWANU specializes in producing TENUGUI, a hand-dyed rectangular fabric traditionally used in Japan as functional household goods/garments for everyday use. The TENUGUI is made using the “CHUSEN” hand-dyeing technique, which dates back to the Meiji period more than 100 years ago and is still used today by artisans who appreciate its refined textures and visual qualities. Since its founding in 1987, KAMAWANU has developed more than 500 different TENUGUI patterns, breathing new life into the “CHUSEN” hand-dyeing tradition, including training “CHUSEN” apprentice craftsmen.
