It can be used in many ways there is no special rules for using it. The Tenugui are not only practical but over the years it also became also valuable for its artistic value. This design is very simple and elegant, two characteristic that are often found in Japanese traditional art crafts.

Takeda Kahei has been producing Arimatsu Shibori products since its establishment in 1872. The tradition of tie-dyeing technique is much older and was transmitted throughout the generations. The beautiful prints are created by applying ink and creatively tying knots in the cloth.

"Tenugui", first created during the Heian period (AD 794 - 1192), is often translated as "Japanese towel", but this translation fails to cover their versatility and cultural significance. Tenugui are not only used as hand towels and handkerchiefs, but also function as fashion items, gift wrapping, souvenirs, sweat bands and padding (e.g. in the martial arts kendo), and of course as decorative items due to their often beautiful, funny or nostalgic patterns.

33 x 99 cm

Please be aware that tenugui cloth by default never are hemmed, which allows them to dry very quickly.
