Kyoto Hand Towels - Nizaemon Churoku

It is said that in the Edo period, commoners would change the way they wore hand towels according to their occupation and occasion in order to cheer them up and enjoy fashion. In modern times, it is used as headgear for kendo and festivals, but it can also be worn as a headband or hood as an accessory by pattern and style of wearing. The history of hand wipes can be traced back to the Nara period, but they became popular only in the Edo period. Later, the size was unified to 90x35 cm, and the name "hand towel" was established. Afterwards, with the establishment of the Nakasen dyeing technique in the Meiji era, various patterns appeared on hand wipes. After the war, tenugui became a forgotten existence due to the westernization of life, but in recent years the tenugui culture has been re-examined, and in addition to being used as "wiping" and "wearing" like people in the Edo period, it began to be done as a decorative tenugui interior layout. "Ninzaemon help six" Sukuroku of Hanagawa Michi performing "Edo Yuen Suroku", a representative performance of Kabuki, is dyed. When Hanakawasukeroku, with his tiny black hands, purple headband, and snake-eyed umbrella, appears on the ikebana, the audience and stage cheer for Edo's best man. The family crest of Nizaemon's name "Matsushimaya" is drawn on the belt of Sukuroku, and it is a tenuku with an impressive dignified figure.
