Description
Phoenix
The phoenix, along with the dragon, rin, and turtle, is one of the four spirits in China. An imaginary Chinese ancient Mizutori. It is said to appear only in a peaceful world governed by the Holy Tenshi, and is widely preferred as an auspicious sentence.
"Tenugui" 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.
Please be aware that tenugui cloth by default never are hemmed, which allows them to dry very quickly.
