【Cautions for using electrical products】
When using electrical appliances, please note that the voltage is different from that of Japan, which may cause malfunctions.
Since the plug type is Japan type(A or B type), please check the voltage and use a transformer.
Please note that a transformer is different from a conversion adapter.
We are not responsible for malfunctions caused by use without a transformer.
【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.

Kamawanu's summer patterned tenugui towels are perfect for the hot and humid Japanese summer. They are perfect for many events, such as fireworks displays and festivals.
Kamawanu tenugui towels are made with Sori (textile) fabric. Compared to the Tokuoka fabric used for picture tenugui, this fabric is coarser and thicker. However, it is highly absorbent and breathable, making it a practical tenugui. The appeal of Sori fabric is that it develops a unique character with use.
Tenugui cloths can be broadly divided into two types of fabric, known as "bun" (patterned) and "oka" (patterned). Bun fabric is woven with thicker threads, numbering 20, while oka fabric is woven with thinner threads, numbering 30. Because oka fabric is made with thinner threads, the weave is finer, allowing for the expression of intricate designs such as delicate patterns and gradations. Bun fabric is made with thicker threads, so it has a coarser weave than oka fabric. However, it has good breathability and excellent water absorption, making it ideal as a handkerchief or dish towel. However, because it is coarser, it cannot match the ability to express finer designs as oka fabric, but it does have the advantage of allowing you to feel the texture of the fabric.
Tenugui were originally cloths used mainly for wiping away sweat and water, and for washing the body when bathing, and the edges are left uncut rather than folded and sewn to make them easier to dry after use and to prevent dirt from accumulating on the edges of the fabric, making them hygienic. The ends are also intentionally left unsewn so that they can be torn off and used as bandages or thongs for first aid.
Japan is blessed with four beautiful seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Since ancient times, Japanese people have incorporated the changes of the seasons into their lives and enjoyed them. However, in modern lifestyles, it is difficult to feel the seasons close to us, and incorporating a seasonal feel into our rooms can be costly and time-consuming. In such cases, by changing your tenugui towels with each season, you can easily enjoy the changing of the seasons without leaving your own home.
You can use tenugui towels as hand towels or placemats, or lay them on the dishes to keep away dust or drain. In addition to using them for their original purpose of wiping your hands or displaying them beautifully as interior décor, why not incorporate tenugui towels into your daily life? Don't throw them away when they get old; sew them back together if they get frayed, and finally use them as dust rags. You can use them until the very end.

Because Oka fabric is made with thinner threads, its fine weave allows for the expression of intricate designs, such as delicate patterns and gradations. Bun fabric is made with thicker threads, making it coarser than Oka fabric. However, its breathability and absorbency make it ideal as a handkerchief or dishcloth. However, because the weave is coarse, it cannot express the fine details of the design as well as Oka fabric, but it has the advantage of being able to feel the texture of the fabric.
