🛍️ Nijiyura Nakazakicho Main Store - Specializing in Hand Towels

Originating from the Sakai area of Osaka, the hand towel brand "Nijiyura (にじゆら)" specializes in creating and selling hand towels and related products using the traditional dyeing technique known as "注染" (shuzai). The patterns on the hand towels are crafted by artists active in various fields, giving each product a unique artistic flair. The material used is "幸晒" (sukisai), a smooth and delicate fabric made in Japan. Each artisan hand-dyes the "幸晒," resulting in products that each have their own distinct character. Here, you can find hand towels that are truly one-of-a-kind. In addition to hand towels, there is a rich variety of products including handmade shirts, fans, bags, and masks. The classic patterns and those designed based on Japan's seasonal customs can be framed as decorations or used to wrap wine bottles, allowing for versatile uses. The store is located in Nakazakicho, a trendy area filled with shops converted from old townhouses and retro cafes, popular among the artistic crowd. It is about a 10-minute walk from the towering skyscrapers and residential buildings of Osaka Umeda, making it a great idea to enjoy a stroll through the streets while visiting Nijiyura.
