Japanese Christmas Tree – Blue Gradient TENUGUI

This is not just any Christmas tree — take a closer look at the ornaments. Lucky charms such as daruma dolls, ume plum blossoms, and folding fans are transformed into festive decorations. The six gourds depicted on the tree symbolize good health and well-being, representing a wish for a life free from illness. Even Santa’s stocking is reimagined as traditional Japanese tabi socks, creating a unique fusion of Japanese and Western holiday motifs.
Using a single stencil, artisans hand-dye over eight colors — including blue, green, red, and yellow — to craft a vibrant, sparkling celebration of the season. The gradient-dyeing technique also creates a sense of depth, adding richness and dimension to the design.

Tradition Meets Craftsmanship

Each tenugui is hand-dyed by craftsmen using the traditional CHUSEN technique, which creates beautiful gradations of color unique to this process.

Specially Crafted Tenugui Fabric

Our tenugui are made from cloth specially crafted for everyday use. Soft, absorbent, and smooth, they become even more comfortable to use over time.

Enjoy Tenugui Fading

Our tenugui are hand-dyed with a generous amount of dye. With each wash, excess dye gradually comes off, and the colors evolve slowly. How you use and wash your tenugui will affect its fading, so enjoy watching it change over time.
