Description

Makumo’s camellia features slender leaves that highlight the flower, making it one of its signature designs.

TENUGUI is a traditional thin Japanese hand towel made from cotton.
While the traditional Tenugui is plain woven and therefore rather thin and hard,
Makumo uses double gauze which gives them a very soft texture.

The Tenuguis from Makumo can be used in many ways.
As hand or face towel, for wrapping your lunch box, or even as a small scarf.
Where ever being used, they create a colorful accent in your daily life.

■ size and pattern ■
All Tenuguis are handmade in the atelier Makumo,
so each piece is unique and varies slightly in size and color.

■ cloth quality ■
Makumo prints all of their Tenuguis with cloth from Hamamatsu.
Hamamatsu is famous for their cloth because the warm weather there is perfect for cotton cultivation.
Using double gauze makes the cloth soft.
In addition they have high breathable and water absorptive qualities.

The small atelier of Makumo is located close to the sea in Itoshima, Fukuoka.
Designs created by Miki, printed on textiles by Tomota and sawed by Yukiko
form the unique textile products of Makumo.
Makumo is the name of an old instrument of which nobody knows what sound it makes and how it looks like.
So everyone can build their own imagination of what Makumo is.The patterns of Makumo come from many imaginations,and new imaginations keep coming.

Makumo wishes that you enjoy its imagination of an unknown world.
