This tenugui was hand-dyed by the Japanese artist Makiko Tokunaga, in Tokushima, according to the delicate technique of Katano Shibori, a needle-stitched then dyed process’indigo Sukumo. This particular pattern, called Firefly, evokes the Glow of the fireflies on a Japanese summer night.
The luminous dots, finely scattered across the fabric, seem to vibrate with a soft light, like so many halos suspended in the deep indigo.
The tenugui, a traditional Japanese cotton cloth, approximately 35 × 90 cm, which can be used as a light scarf, a decorative wall hanging, textile wrapping (furoshiki), or an everyday accessory.
Each piece is unique, dyed slowly and carefully according to the natural cycles of indigo fermentation.
A textile that is both simple and refined, imbued with the poetry of summer in Japan.
