Ours are hand-dyed in Japan using "chusen", a traditional technique in which the dye penetrates the cloth rather than sitting on its surface, leaving the pattern visible on both sides and the hand remarkably soft. Each pattern carries its own name and meaning. In the wabi-sabi spirit, the edges are left unhemmed, so expect some slight fraying, and the character that comes with it. Roughly translated, Arare means "hail" in Japan, specifically the small, winter variety, no bigger than five millimeters across. The pattern scatters tiny dots across the cloth, as if caught mid-fall. ## Variants - **In stock:** 1 of 1 | SKU | Availability | | --- | --- | | UBAN.1174.000.01 | In stock | ## Categories - **Categories:** Accessories ## Additional Attributes - **vendor:** Best Made Co. - **product type:** Accessories - **shopify handle:** arare-tenugui ## Enrichment - **Type:** tenugui - **Type Synonyms:** japanese hand towel, rectangular cloth, hand towel - **Gender:** unisex - **Age Groups:** adult - **Tags:** polka dot, hand-dyed, rectangular, woven - **Styles:** japanese, traditional, minimalist - **Category Path:** Apparel & Accessories > Accessories > Specialty Accessories > Traditional Clothing Accessories - **Material:** Fabric - **Pattern:** Dots, Geometric - **Canonical Brand:** Best Made Co. ## Images - ![Image 1](https://cdn.octogen.ai/3879f3f46be74e2bdda4c3b4d91c8b19/a64f4c54e2c23368f730279b00550e96.jpeg) - ![Image 2](https://cdn.octogen.ai/3879f3f46be74e2bdda4c3b4d91c8b19/6b9740ce508225fbcef3dc6d17b12a72.jpeg) - ![Image 3](https://cdn.octogen.ai/3879f3f46be74e2bdda4c3b4d91c8b19/4fe92c839656fd2256a528ce27bcaf69.jpeg) - ![Image 4](https://cdn.octogen.ai/3879f3f46be74e2bdda4c3b4d91c8b19/5108b9791120596bfa9116996e636be7.jpeg) --- *Source: cosimo.shop | Product ID: b230e4fa-2ecc-490d-9517-e87c136de52b | Canonical URL: https://cosimo.shop/product/best-made-co/arare-tenugui-b230e4fa-2ecc-490d-9517-e87c136de52b*
