[Higaki] Higaki is a fence pattern created by weaving together thin pieces of cypress. When used as a building material, Japanese cypress has a lifespan of more than 1000 years, and so is an auspicious tree with appropriate life force.

The tenugui of Hanaichimatsu are made with smooth, high-quality feel Tokuoka fabric (100% cotton) dyed using a Kyoto yuzen penetration dyeing method. In order for the dye to penetrate properly to the reverse side, 1.5 times the length of time is required compared to regular dyeing. Also, the skills of the craftsmen are essential. Compared to other hand-printing techniques, the color doesn't fade easily, it produces excellent colors and the outline of an elaborate pattern can be clearly dyed. At first, it features a slightly hard feel, however this softens with usage. A series that will brighten up your everyday life by wrapping, putting on, decorating etc.
