Tenugui Textiles by Keiko Hayashi & Sachiyo Nakamura
Discover the delicate artistry of tenugui, traditional Japanese hand towels, with master designers Keiko Hayashi and Sachiyo Nakamura. Renowned in Tokyo for 14 years of highly acclaimed pop-ups, Hayashi and Nakamura bring their first overseas exhibition to JACCC with the theme “The Heavens.” Their tenugui designs, hand-dyed with centuries-old techniques, transform everyday textiles into wearable art, from bags and apparel to accessories, each imbued with cultural significance and exquisite craftsmanship.
Browse an exclusive selection of their tenugui and products, all available for purchase at MISE 店, and gain insight into the traditional dyeing methods and motifs that make these pieces truly special.
Enhance your experience by joining one of the limited-seat workshops, held each morning of the pop-up. Attendees will hand-sew a tenugui into a practical, stylish azumabukuro origami-style bag while learning from Hayashi and Nakamura themselves. All materials are provided, and participants leave with a one-of-a-kind creation, a rare opportunity to engage with an authentic Japanese craft firsthand.
Spaces are extremely limited for the workshops. Reserve your spot today and immerse yourself in the vibrant tradition and artistry of tenugui!
