Each side has its own color and pattern, so you can enjoy the back as much as the front. A printed pigment could also make two different sides, but it would lose the soft, natural feel of \u003cem\u003ewazarashi\u003c\/em\u003e cotton. Because hirali is truly dyed, the cloth stays soft and gentle on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKasane no irome: the Japanese art of layered colors\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJapan’s four seasons have shaped a deep sensitivity to color. In the Heian period, court ladies wore the layered \u003cem\u003ejūnihitoe\u003c\/em\u003e robes and enjoyed the color combinations created where an outer layer met its lining. This way of thinking about color, \u003cem\u003ekasane no irome\u003c\/em\u003e, is why Japanese has so many names for colors. hirali brings that idea to everyday life, pairing two colors on the front and back of each cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4784\/6735\/files\/hirali-26-10-8.webp\" alt=\"hirali reversible tenugui, Hishi no Hana design in use\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA tenugui for life today\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenugui usually means traditional Japanese patterns, but hirali takes a fresh approach, with modern graphic designs and colors that still carry the spirit of Japan.
