We're delighted to introduce to you our wonderful new original Ki Tenugui. This special piece has been exclusively designed for Ki Gift Shop in collaboration with one of the oldest Tenugui shops in Japan, Eirakuya.
Founded in 1615 in Kyoto, Eirakuya has been making and selling traditional Japanese washcloths for around 400 years. These cloths are known in Japan as Furoshiki or Tenugui. Eirakuya is currently making not only Furoshiki or Tenugui, but also handkerchief and bags.
The exclusively designed cloths for Ki Niseko feature a beautiful design of two geisha enjoying skiing and snowboarding in Niseko.

The geisha in the design are wearing colourful kimonos with both of their obi featuring the iconic Ki Niseko pattern.
