Fujiwara Foods "Kamogawa Natto"
The design incorporates the indigo (navy blue) and bean-dyed pattern used on the packaging of Fujiwara Foods' "Kamogawa Natto."
The white bean-dyed pattern on the indigo background used on the packaging gives it a simple and nostalgic impression.
The shape of a bean hidden in the bean-dyed pattern
Mame-shibori is a traditional Japanese pattern that has been around since the Edo period. The eye-like pattern is believed to ward off evil spirits, and as a single bean produces many seeds, it also embodies the wish for prosperity of descendants and good health.
This tenugui towel has the shape of a bean hidden within the rhythm of the bean-dyed pattern.
