We recently came across Eirakuya, a 400-year old brand deeply rooted in Kyoto’s textile history.
Known for its tenugui (traditional Japanese hand towels), Eirakuya blends heritage craftsmanship with modern design. Each piece feels like a work of art—soft, lightweight, and dyed with delicate, intricate patterns that tell a story.
What struck us most was how these tenugui aren’t just decorative; they’re versatile—used for wrapping gifts, drying hands, or even as stylish accessories. The Fujiyama design, inspired by Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji, perfectly captures the brand’s blend of tradition and beauty.
Holding one feels like touching a piece of history, reimagined for today. A true hidden gem of Kyoto.
