---------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Cautions for using electrical products】 When using electrical appliances, please note that the voltage is different from that of Japan, which may cause malfunctions. Since the plug type is Japan type(A or B type), please check the voltage and use a transformer. Please note that a transformer is different from a conversion adapter. We are not responsible for malfunctions caused by use without a transformer.

【Voltage Compatibility】 When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.

【Plug Type】 Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type). Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.

【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】 A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements. A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage. Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.

【Liability】 We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Approximately 33x90cm, 100% cotton, made in Japan Yagisei's Bingata-style Tenugui series Hand-dyed by Chusen artisans A tenugui hand towel dyed using the traditional Okinawa (Ryukyu) dyeing technique of bingata. Both ends are left uncut, which is a characteristic of tenugui. We plan and sell tenugui hand towels dyed using the chusen dyeing technique, with designs provided by artists of the traditional Okinawan (Ryukyu) bingata dyeing technique. Ryukyu bingata is the only dyeing method born and raised in Okinawa, characterized by vibrant colors created using pigments that stand out under the strong Okinawan sun. The chusen dyeing technique is a type of glue-based resist dyeing method, in which a stencil is placed on top of the fabric, and then each stencil is carefully folded over and over, with a layer of resist glue applied. The dye is then poured over the fabric, penetrating the areas of the pattern not covered by the resist glue, dyeing both the front and back simultaneously. Yagisei's Bingata-style Tenugui series features original tenugui hand towels designed by bingata artists using the Okinawan bingata dyeing technique. This is a complex design that would be difficult to reproduce using regular dyeing, but we asked skilled artisans to dye it for us, resulting in a one-of-a-kind multicolored finish. It can be used as a tenugui, or as a tapestry or table runner for interior decor.
