Tenugui with Elegant Wisteria Pattern (152)

Wisteria.
This beautiful tenugui is one of Rienzome's more simple and elegant designs, with a detailed Wisteria plant on an all-white background. Often used in Japanese theater, the beauty and longevity of the Wisteria have given it many symbolic meanings over the year. It is said to be a representation of beauty, fertility, love, creative expansion, long life and immortality, grace, bliss, honor, patience, endurance, longevity, exploration, releasing burdens, victory over hardships, harmony and wisdom. Whatever symbol you choose to relate to, this tenugui will be a special gift for yourself or others.

"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.
