Tenugui edges are purposely seamless for better hygiene and quick drying. After a few washes, you may find that the cloth has frayed. Use a pair of scissors to trim the loose threads. The more you use the cloth, the more the edges will stop fraying due to the tightening of the the fabric.

** If you would like the edges of your tenugui to be finished, we can hem the edges at an additional cost of $2.00. Please request this service in the notes section and we will send you an invoice for the service.

At Kiriko, we love a good notebook. Nothing really comes close as a place to store your best ideas, deep thoughts, and the occasional doodle. This small recycled paper notebook fits neatly in your pocket or bag to have with you anywhere. No lines, for no restrictions.
The Katazome pattern on the cover is inspired by traditional Katazome papercut prints. A stencil is meticulously cut from paper, and a paste is applied through it, for fabric to be resist dyed. These papercut patterns are incredibly unique works of art, and we strive to share them through practical, memorable products.

Shippo also means "cloisonné," which refers to a decorating technique using metal strips and gems. The pattern represents these beautiful seven treasures inlaid in metal, in an infinitely repeating pattern.

"The potential for creating designs in textiles can be seen even in the physical properties of cloth. The simple fact that cloth tightly compressed into wrinkles or folds resists the penetration of dye is an opportunity—an opportunity to let the pliancy of textiles speak in making designs and patterns."

Chu-sen dyeing is a technique unique from the more common process of screen printing images and patterns onto the fabric. While screen printing merely lays pigment on the surface of the fibers, Chu-sen dyeing seeps all the way through to permanently color the fabric. Thus, Chu-sen dyed fabric will be as bright and beautiful from the front as it will be from the back. Read more of the Chu-sen Dyeing process on our blog, HERE.
