This garment appears to have been constructed by piecing together multiple tenugui—traditional Japanese hand towels—into a patchwork-like composition.
Traces of their previous lives remain: indigo-dyed stripes, and stamped crests or names once associated with shops, breweries, or merchants.
Each piece of cloth tells its own story, now stitched into a new form that reflects both utility and artistry.
Originally made as a cool summer garment, this piece is also a living archive of regional culture and everyday craftsmanship.
