Tenugui with Cranes in the Morning sun (280)
Description
Morning Sun Tsuru.
This Tenugui cloth from Rienzome symbolizes Japan in many different ways. There is of course the well-known rising sun. But also, the colors and the crane birds represent Japan well. Cranes are a symbol of longevity and good luck and often regarded as a rather lucky charm on crafts and artworks!
"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.
