Kamawanu (Asakusa Branch)

A hand dyed tenugui hand towel shop located a five minute walk from Tobu Railway Asakusa Station. The shop's tenugui are made with bleached cotton dyed by the hands of artisans according to a technique dating back to the Meiji period. Despite being made of the same material and being of limited size, the diverse patterns tenugui come in give them a highly seasonal aspect. Popular with international tourists, they also make great souvenirs for people living outside Japan. The shop also sells renowned select handmade accessories and tenugui dyed in patterns sold only at this specific shop. Finally, the shop accepts orders for existing tenugui with a customer's name added or even completely original designs.
