Shokunin Collection Hand-printed Chusen Japanese TEWSEN Tenugui Short Scarf - SATSU SATSU

TEWSEN Tenugui Scarf – “SATSU SATSU”

Made with Kishu Binchōtan–infused rayon fiber

The word “Satsu Satsu” (颯颯) evokes the sound of a refreshing breeze — light, crisp, and invigorating.
It can also describe someone with a clear, breezy personality.
By naming it “Satsu Satsu”, TEWSEN adds a touch of charm and playfulness to the word.

The pattern resembles fine vertical stripes that blend effortlessly with any outfit — a perfect choice for those new to tenugui scarves or looking for a simple, versatile design.

Using the traditional chusen stencil dyeing technique, this “wearable tenugui” embodies the artistry and craftsmanship of Japanese dyeing culture.
Developed in collaboration with LOCAL FABRIC, it features an original textile specially created for this series.
Subtle fringes accent the design, while its excellent absorbency makes it both functional and stylish for everyday wear.

The fabric is lightly woven on a vintage shuttle loom with softly textured yarn, creating a light and breathable texture that resists stickiness or dampness.
The rayon threads are blended with Kishu Binchōtan charcoal, known for its odor-absorbing properties — keeping you comfortable and fresh throughout the day.

Each piece has a slightly different pattern, making every item one of a kind.
