Gyoza Tenugui Hand Towel

Add a playful touch to your home with the Gyoza Tenugui Hand Towel. Rows of crisp white gyoza on a deep navy background capture the joy of this beloved dish and bring a cheerful accent to daily life. The bold yet simple design makes it a fun gift for food lovers or a lively addition to your kitchen.

Each towel is hand-dyed by artisans using the traditional Japanese Chusen technique, where color is infused into the cotton so the pattern appears on both sides. This process creates soft variations that highlight the individuality of handmade work. Made from lightweight yet durable Chita cotton, the fabric absorbs water quickly and dries fast, making it as practical as it is charming.

Versatile and easy to use, the Gyoza Tenugui can serve as a hand towel, a casual table runner, or an eco-friendly wrap for bento boxes and small gifts. It is part of a collection of artisan-made tenugui, each showcasing a distinctive motif and color story.

Please Note: Pre-washing traditional Japanese hand towels (tenugui) is essential to prevent color bleeding and soften the fabric. To care for your tenugui, hand-wash it in cold water without detergent, rinsing it multiple times if necessary. After washing, air-dry the tenugui in the shade to preserve its vibrant colors. It is also recommended to store the tenugui away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Following these steps will help maintain its beauty and durability over time.
