Ise cotton tenugui hand towels made in Mie Prefecture, dyed repeatedly with persimmon tannin. Dyed in two colors using an iron mordant solution made from iron nails and vinegar, and a baking soda mordant. These hand towels are made of sturdy fabric and become softer and more comfortable with use. I was also drawn to the technique of slowly processing them without using chemicals called "wa-zarashi" (Japanese bleaching) and the fact that they return to cotton.✽ They are useful in daily life for wiping sweat, wiping dishes, wrapping around the neck or head, or protecting from dust and UV rays. Persimmon tannin dyeing strengthens the fabric. You can also enjoy the crisp feel when you first start using them and the aging process as they become softer over time ◎ Size: Approximately 35cm x 100cm
