Wabunka's tenugui (Japanese hand towels) are dyed using the Chūsen method, a unique traditional technique born in Japan. Chūsen is a method of dyeing plain bolts of fabric by pouring dye into them to create beautiful patterns. Because each and every thread is dyed, unlike printing where pigment is placed on top of the fabric, it does not impair the breathability or elasticity of the fabric. This is why tenugui have the unique feel of being able to absorb water well, dry quickly, and become softer with each use. In addition, tenugui dyed with Chūsen have a texture that can only be achieved by hand, such as subtle color bleeding and delicate, gentle shading. With each use, the dye on the threads gradually washes out, which deepens the fabric's character. The joy of nurturing your tenugui is one of the great pleasures of Chūsen. Many uses: as a handkerchief / for interior decoration / in the bath / during meals / as a gift / for wrapping / for outings / to protect from dust / when cooking
