Description
Life begins at fifty!
This tenugui towel features images of adorable little "Kame" - or turtles, which have since long been a celebrated image of longevity. A popular Japanese proverb goes "Cranes live for 1000 years, turtles live for 10,000 years", which in the West is expressed as "Life begins at fifty!".
"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.
