Try dyeing a tenugui using chusen, a hand-dyeing technique that originated in Osaka. Create a colorful tenugui in about 90 minutes as a memento of your trip.
Tenugui are versatile cloths that can be used to wrap items, dry your hands, or even worn around your neck as a fashion accessory. Dye one in your favorite colors, and it may become something you will treasure for years.
The store also sells tenugui featuring Japanese cultural motifs, including designs available exclusively at COREDO Muromachi Terrace.

The Process (Approx. 90 Minutes)

1. Applying Resist Paste

Secure the stencil, apply resist paste, and fold the cloth into accordion-like layers.

2. Building Paste Dams & Chusen Dyeing

Build dams with paste to prevent unwanted areas from being dyed, then pour in the dye.

3. Hand-Washing

Once the dyeing is complete, move to the washing area and rinse away the resist paste and excess dye.

4. Drying

After thoroughly rinsing the fabric, dry it right away to complete your tenugui!
