Kitaya – BLUE OCEAN WAVES
$20.00Kitaya Shōten 青海波 Seigaiha is a traditional pattern. Actually, it is a pattern carved when making a yukata. For the yukata, Kitaya Shōten made this seigaiha x polka dot fabric.

Kitaya – GEOMETRIC PLAY
$35.00Kitaya Shōten 幾何学あそび Kitaya Shōten made a tenugui by collecting and combining many traditional patterns that have been handed down from long ago. This tenugui can be enjoyed in a wide range of ways, regardless of age, gender, or occasion. It is a masterpiece that luxuriously uses the traditional fabric "Enshu cotton pongee", which has been preserved since the Edo period in the Enshu region centered on Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The stripes of the original fabric and the dyeing technique overlap, creating an interesting finish that changes the atmosphere. Approximately 40cm x 90cm (15,7in x 35,4in) Enshu cotton pongee fabric used 100% cotton ※ product is hand-dyed and made of natural materials.

Kitaya – LUCKY BIRD ARABESQUE
$25.00Kitaya Shōten 吉鳥唐草 鳥 古典柄 The arabesque pattern is a classic auspicious pattern that has the meaning of "prosperity" and "longevity" because it has a strong vitality and the vine grows without breaking. By making the motif larger than usual to give the presence of arabesque, and adding a cute bird motif to it, it is presented in a modern way without becoming a heavy classic pattern. It was made from this thought. But after all, the color is the traditional arabesque color! Approximately 34cm x 90cm (13,3in x 35,4in) Tokuoka (特岡) fabric used (it's a fabric with a smooth texture) 100% cotton ※ product is hand-dyed and made of natural materials.

Kitaya – MAPLE IN DOTS
$25.00Kitaya Shōten 子持ち紅葉 楓 小紋 If you look closely, you can see that the pattern of autumn leaves and maple is expressed in fine dots like in Edo Komon, and the pattern of polka dots is further layered and dyed. Only there where no anti-dye glue was used, the polka dots appear. What a luxurious tenugui that is! I think this is a wonderful way to use the traditional Komon in a modern setting. It's hard to see in the photo because of the lighting, but the fine pattern is light blue, and the polka dots are dark blue. Approximately 34cm x 90cm (13,3in x 35,4in) Sōri (総理) fabric used (it's a fabric with a rough texture) 100% cotton ※ product is hand-dyed and made of natural materials.

Please note in advance. ※ How to care for tableware Before using for the first time There is no need to boil our tableware in hot water when you first start using it. It will not affect its durability, and the color will deteriorate if you boil it in a pot or leave it in water for a long time, so please wash it lightly and use it as is. About using in ovens and microwaves ●You can use it in a microwave, but we do not recommend it as it is prone to cracking due to sudden changes in temperature. ●If you use colored or gold/silver painted items in a microwave, the glaze will melt and the colored painting will peel off, so please avoid using it as much as possible. After use ※ Wash with diluted neutral detergent and dry thoroughly before storing. Leaving it half-dried can cause mold and make it more likely to absorb odors. Ceramics have cracks on the surface called crazing. This is a unique and elegant feature. It is highly absorbent and breathable, and the longer you use it the more character and texture it will develop. ※ product might be sold-out even though being available on this site.
