Todaya Shoten was founded in Nihonbashi in 1872.
"Nashien Dye" is the main brand of Todaya Shoten Co., Ltd., a manufacturer and wholesaler of tenugui and yukata.
We deliver products that preserve traditional culture while creating new things, and are suited to the tastes of kabuki.
Enjoy the quality achieved through carefully selected materials and artisanal skill, and the refinement of everyday life.
Nashien Dye tenugui are almost entirely made by hand, from the stencil making to the dyeing and final folding process.
The warmth of hand-dyeing, which cannot be felt with machine production, gives Nashien Dye a deep flavor.
Nashien Dye embodies "traditional craftsmanship" and "modern Japan."
<Features>
Nashien Dye's signature technique is the "Chū-sen" dyeing method.
This dyeing method, designated a traditional craft, allows for dyeing on both sides of the fabric.
The beautiful colors and beautiful texture are only possible because it is hand-dyed by skilled artisans.
Niwa-zome also uses its own original fabrics and is particular about the quality of the bleached cotton used in tenugui and yukata.
<Design>
"Traditional patterns in innovative colors, innovative motifs with traditional techniques."
This is the design concept of Niwa-zome.
Rather than faithfully recreating old designs through nostalgia, Niwa-zome breathes new life into traditional designs, transforming them to suit the times.
This evolution creates unique, new designs.
Niwa-zome is also proud of its overwhelming variety of inimitable patterns.
Hagi (Japanese bush clover) is a representative plant motif. Since the Nara and Heian periods, bush clover has been used in a variety of ways to represent the beauty of Japanese women, including in dyeing and weaving, as it exudes a refreshing feeling.
