Japanese people have been enjoying endless design opportunities by putting their creativity on the 34 cm X 90 cm (3:1 ratio) surface of cotton cloth. With the invention of the CHUSEN (pouring) dyeing technique, TENUGUI towels gained broad distribution and an extremely wide variety of designs became available. Contemporary creators and distributors are expanding the potential of this tradition even further. Kazuhiro Kato will discuss the design, manufacture and uses of tenugui.
The Tenugui Towels exhibition is on from May 26 – July 30, 2010
Presented by The Japan Foundation, in association with Kamawanu Co. Ltd., Tokyo
