Eri ShimatsukaTenugui - Manty (Pine Tree) / Hedelmapuu (Fruit Tree)

    This tenugui was designed by Eri Shimatsuka, who worked with us on the Hobonichi Techo cover Hedelmäpuu and the Weeks book Manty. It’s dyed using a traditional stencil dyeing method called chuusen.



    The Manty design has the same beautiful and graceful pine tree design as the Weeks, and features a gorgeous gradation from green to blue. The Hedelmäpuu design lines up grapes and tree nuts in a variety of shapes, with a three-color gradation between yellow, orange, and pink. It’s a fun design that changes its look depending on its base color.



    A tenugui is a traditional Japanese cloth with a versatile lineup of uses in daily life. For example, you can use it as a handkerchief or a towel, frame it and hang it up, or drape it over a bag or other items to cover them up.
