I didn't know my abilities (I'm a paper interpreter), so I just took on a guide for an inbound town walking tour, so I went to Ningyocho to study under it.
When I met a foreigner's group on the way to "Chidoriya" from Great Kannon and asked a guide woman (like half of Japan and the United States) if I could ask, I laughed and said, "I will get a fee." Was. Well, it was clear that it was a joke, so I thought I would follow it as it was, but I refrained.
After that, at the Karakuri clock, a Chinese guide explained. In addition, quite a few foreigners can be seen on Ningyocho-dori, and it seems to be inbound prosperity.
Chidoriya (1st floor of HS Building, 1-7-6 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) is a specialty store in Tenugui, and "The Tenugui we handle is dyed using a dyeing method called Chusen. Hand dyeing by skilled craftsmen is also designated as a traditional craft.
According to a site (http://www.suzukine.co.jp/blog/2015/10/23/118), "Staining" is a unique Japanese dyeing method designed by Meiji period. Tenugui, furoshiki, and yukata dyed without front and back are dyed with the technique of pouring dyeing. The fine patterns can be dyed neatly, and dozens can be dyed at a time, so it was an epoch-making dyeing method at the time.
In the same way, there is a dyeing print as a way to dye fine patterns. However, since pouring dyes the thread directly, it does not impair the elasticity and permeability of the cloth. Also, the more you use it, the softer the texture increases and the taste comes out. That's why it's a perfect way to dye Tenugui or cotton yukata that repeats washing."
Chidoriya is proud to be able to help protect Japanese culture and craftsmen through the sale of "Tenugui", and opened Ningyocho Main Store as its first store in order to expand stores nationwide. In addition to Tenugui, we also offer good Japanese products such as brooms and furoshiki, which can be cleaned quickly when you notice it."
