From Green Gnome:

Our company, Green Gnome Co., Ltd., is a company engaged in the work of satoyama forests, with the keyword "manufacturing in harmony with nature", keeping in mind the management regeneration of limited natural resources, sustainable with efficient utilization. We manage with potential.

In addition, by actively engaging with local communities and sharing information on sustainability, we aim to be a company that contributes to an increase in the number of people interacting between local communities and urban areas and a virtuous cycle of job satisfaction and economic cycles. I am doing my daily activities.

Specifically, we systematically cut down abandoned broad-leaved forests, and then plant trees and clear undergrowth to promote growth in an effort to grow healthy forests. Harvested broadleaf trees are efficiently used as white charcoal for fuel and functional charcoal for daily life, using Hyuga Binchotan charcoal making technology, a traditional industry of the region that will be designated as an intangible folk cultural property of Miyazaki Prefecture in 2021. revitalize the local industry and economy, secure the expenses associated with tree planting through sales at a reasonable price for labor and quality, and distribute them to the mountain owners of abandoned forests, related business companies, and work staff. By doing so, we aim to achieve robust corporate management that is sustainable.

These activities and goals cannot be achieved by our company alone, and we believe that both goals can be achieved and established through coexistence with the local community, so-called partnership. In addition, we will actively share information with local communities, related companies, and individuals in order to achieve goals that meet the SDGs, which are international goals that aim for a sustainable and better world by 2030.

Our mission is to build a foundation for a society where young people and children of the next and subsequent generations can have bright hopes for the future, not only in our local communities but also in the wider society, based on these activities that meet the needs of the times. I think so.

"Tenugui" is translated as a traditional Japanese towel. Because tengui are long and thin they make amazing, fast drying kitchen towels but they can be used in many other ways as well — for gift wrapping, as a scarf or handkerchief, or even a decoration for your home.

The fabric for these Tengui are hand-dyed in Sakai city by artisan Yoshikazu Nishikawa. Mr. Nishikawa is the fourth generation of the Yoshikazu factory. He uses a traditional technique to bleach the fabric and remove impurities before dying called "sarashi" and then uses a trandional dying technique called "chu-sen." Nishikawa's factory is the only one in Japan that still uses both traditional techniques.

These Tengui were designed by artist Aoi Huber, who breathes new colors into the traditional Japanese craft.

Mr. Nishikawa described the process of dying Aoi Huber's design on the Tengui: "It is a new and difficult design for tenugui that is hand-dyed, not printed. It was difficult to avoid the mingling of each color. Some colors might seem similar, but each differs, so it took a lot of time to create the dyes to express the subtle differences. In spite of the difficulty, I am satisfied with the finished look that is worth a lot of time and effort."

Huber Aoi’s Tenugui are a part of HADO's "Work from Hands" Project. Learn more about the artists and craftspeople behind these Tengui here.
