aobato Tenugui (Glass)
Couldn't load pickup availability
"Glass" is a tenugui towel from "aobato," an Otaru-based company that produces tenugui and fabrics dyed by hand using silkscreen printing. Based on the concept of a scene likened to the perspective of a Japanese green pigeon, a bird that visits the sea around Otaru, the designs are inspired by the everyday scenes and changes in nature that are reflected through their eyes, and tell a small story. 
The unique design is based on the glass culture that is deeply rooted in Otaru, and is dotted with a variety of glass works such as lamps and wine glasses. 
100% cotton tenugui are quick-drying and can be used for a variety of purposes, including wiping dishes, wrapping things in a wrapping cloth, and their beautiful designs can even be used as interior décor. 
We have three designs available in our shop: "Glass," "Green Pigeon," and "Lighthouse." Please take a look at them all. 
Each and every aobato tenugui is handcrafted, a tool for everyday life that brings a warmth to your daily life.
This textile brand was created by printer Kazunari Kosuge and designer Nana Iwamoto. Likened to the perspective of the Otaru bird "Aobato," each hand towel is hand-dyed with silkscreen printing to depict Hokkaido scenery that the bird passes by in its daily life and encounters in the future. We hope that these hand towels will be used with love as "tools" that are comfortable to use, and that they will be passed down to future generations.
