This tenugui is inspired by traditional Japanese kacho-ga (bird-and-flower paintings). The combination of cherry blossoms and the Japanese white-eye bird is a classic motif symbolizing spring in Japan. The cherry blossoms are rendered in soft, naturalistic gradients, while the white-eye bird is dyed in gentle greens and grays. The cherry tree trunk is colored in deep gray, creating a calm, grounded contrast to the bright flowers. A pale green background ties the composition together, resulting in a harmonious and serene color palette. Recommended for: Those who want to display it as a tapestry Those who appreciate refined, Japanese painting–style designs with a subtle, cool elegance
Tradition Meets Craftsmanship
