Fuji-ya Review
Master textile creator Keiji Kawakami's cotton tenugui (teh-noo-goo-ee) hand towels are collector's items, often framed instead of used as towels. Kawakami is an expert on the hundreds of traditional towel motifs that have come down from the Edo period: geometric patterns, plants and animals, and scenes from Kabuki plays and festivals. When Kawakami feels he has made enough of one pattern of his own design, he destroys the stencil. The shop is near the corner of Dembo-in-dori on Naka-mise-dori.
