The popular monsters from the "Showa Godzilla Series" are dressed in the traditional colors of Japan's four seasons, and are made using the masterful techniques of one of Japan's few "two-step dyeing" artisans.

This film features King Ghidorah, the monster that symbolizes autumn.
The design is based on a golden color and the three heads exude power and dignity.

Its greatest appeal is the "breathtaking look of the fabric" that cannot be reproduced by machine printing.

■ Use it or display it as a tapestry on the wall, as seasonal decor, or as a gift for overseas fans.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece that combines monster art with traditional Japanese crafts.

The pinnacle of indigo dyeing: Tokon is the traditional name for indigo dyeing and has long been considered a high-class color.

■ About double-dyed Tenugui
01.
First application of glue and dyeing: First, the pattern is printed with dye-resistant glue in order to dye the first pattern.
The dye is then poured over the fabric to complete the dyeing.
02.
Washing and drying: The dyed fabric is washed in water to remove the starch and then dried.
At this stage, the first dyeing is complete.
03.
Second application of glue and dyeing: Once the fabric is completely dry, glue is applied again using a stencil to dye the second pattern.
Then, dye is poured in again to dye it.
04.
Finishing: After the second dyeing, wash again to remove the starch, dry and it's finished.
Second dyeing requires repeating the same series of processes twice - applying starch, dyeing, rinsing, and drying - which takes more time, effort, and costs more than single dyeing.
In this way, the double dyeing method of chusen dyeing requires the skilled techniques and time and effort of the artisan, making it possible to create more delicate and artistic tenugui.
