Introduction

About the product

An original textile available from autumn 2024. We have created a classically indigo-colored tenugui with a textile design that expresses the Kurasu logo in a pixelated style.

This time, the manufacturing method and design have been renewed!

This product was made using the "Kyoto Yuzen" technique, where artisans hand-dye each piece using a stencil. It has a high-quality, unique texture and feel with depth. The indigo color stands out, making it a product that exudes a Kyoto feel. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as wrapping small items and of course in the kitchen.

About original textiles

"Pixel Flow" The Kurasu logo is turned into dots (pixels) and designed into a continuous pattern.

The flow of the Kamo River in Kyoto and the surrounding mountains are symbolically captured to create a unique visual that fuses digital and nature. Even if you don't realize that the pattern is the "Kurasu" logo, you will feel that the pattern is Kurasu's identity. The design is intended for use in everyday life, such as textiles and interior items, and allows you to incorporate Kurasu's design into your life.

Background of the name Pixel Flow: The pixelated (digitized) design of the Kurasu logo blends with the nature of Kyoto (especially the flow of the Kamo River) to create a flowing, continuous pattern.

Notes

  • This product is made using a technique called hand printing, and its unique feature is that you can enjoy the changes in texture as the colors blur and fade with each wash.
  • The edges are left uncut, so there will be some fraying when you first start using it, but this will settle down naturally.
  • The color may fade due to washing, rinsing, and friction, especially the first 3 to 4 times. Please avoid washing with other laundry as the color may come out in the water when washing for a while, or run off due to sweat or rain.
