Murai Senkoujyo

Founded in 1936 in Higashi-Komatsugawa, Murai Senkoujyo relocated to Ichinoe, Edogawa City, in 1939. Since then, the workshop has continued dyeing tenugui using the chusen technique across three generations. It is currently led by third-generation owner Murai Mitsutoshi (63), a Tokyo Traditional Craftsman, and produces around 2,900 tan (approx.. 35,000 m, or 30,000 tenugui) per month together with a team of nine artisans. While safeguarding tradition, the workshop also focuses on training the next generation.
