Rienzome Tenugui by Todaya Shouten (Est. 1872)

Where Edo Elegance Meets Modern Craftsmanship

Since its founding in 1872, Todaya Shouten has carried forward the spirit of Edo-era artisanship through its Rienzome Tenugui — finely hand-dyed Japanese cotton cloths made in Tokyo using the traditional chusen technique.

Each tenugui embodies the timeless beauty of Edo design — soft textures, gentle color gradations, and a light, breathable feel that improves with every wash. More than just a towel, it’s a piece of living art that connects the past and present through touch, texture, and tradition.
