Rienzome Tenugui Cloth with Geese in the Moonlight (290)

Kari no Fumi..
... means Letter in Japanese. Literally translated as "The geese's letter" it originated from traditional times when people would tie messages and news updates on a paper around geese's legs, who would then fly them around.

"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.
