Chusen-some is a type of stencil dyeing that uses a form called a nukagata, and is also known as pouring dyeing as the dye is poured into the pattern area. Chusen-some is a dyeing technique unique to Japan that allows the front and back to be dyed exactly the same colour, and by taking advantage of the shading caused by the bleeding and mixing of the dye, it is possible to produce a variety of dyes with a deep, elegant look. Chusen dyeing is a technique in which dye is poured into fabric. The dye is poured into fabric that has been folded into several layers using a special kettle with a narrow spout. The poured dye is sucked up from underneath the fabric by a compressor, dyeing each layer of fabric down to every single thread. By pouring different colors and water at the same time, it is possible to create a blend of colors and shading, which gives the finished product a soft impression. The main difference between the commonly available cheap tenugui and the chu-sen dyed tenugui is their excellent absorbency and breathability. Because the dye penetrates into each and every fiber, air can pass between the threads, allowing the pattern to be expressed without impairing the breathability that the fabric itself has. 100% cotton, length approximately 1m Washing instructions: 1.
