All their motifs are originals created by them, while putting a lot of effort into even creating their own cotton base cloth for the tenugui. Todaya Shōten is deeply connected to Japanese culture, especially Kabuki and wants to preserve the traditional craftsmanship by creating hand-dyed Chusen Tenugui and Yukata.
