Discover the Art of Tenugui
In Japan, tenugui cloth are used as local souvenirs called "omiyage". They commemorate uniqueness of each town through its tapestry design. They are also made to celebrate seasonal festivals. You can learn a lot about each locale by understanding the meaning behinds its patterns and figures. We want to adapt this culture and preserve the stories of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao with our own tapestries.
