Description

This tenugui is inspired by Chūshingura—one of Japan’s most beloved tales of loyalty and honor—and based on an original ukiyo-e print by the renowned Edo-period artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
Chūshingura tells the story of forty-seven loyal retainers (rōnin) who avenged their master’s unjust death, an act that came to symbolize the deep sense of duty and justice in Japanese culture.
With its dynamic composition and detailed linework, this design beautifully captures the spirit of samurai devotion portrayed in Kuniyoshi’s art.
Hand-dyed with care, it brings a piece of Japan’s legendary history into your home.

By simply inserting this rod into the top and bottom of a tenugui, you can easily create a tapestry.
