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 its 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 things through nostalgia, Niwa-zome breathes new life into traditional designs, transforming them to suit the times.
This evolution creates unique, new designs.
Niwa-zome also boasts an overwhelming variety of patterns that cannot be imitated.
In the summer river, beautiful scaly char, sweetfish, and yamame trout, the queen of the river and known for their watermelon-like scent, swim leisurely. Loaches, searching for food using their ten whiskers, can be seen peeking out from the mud. Grab your fishing rod and head out for a swim in the river.
