Firefly Basket
Firefly baskets have been handed down from ancient times as a hand play for children. When the fireflies are flying, it is early to harvest rice, so it seems that straw was used as a substitute for knitting. It is a gem by handwork that makes the best use of natural materials.

"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.
