Tenugui with Grove of Trees (1020)
Description
Autumn Trees.
This tenugui is inspired by feeling the sunlight through a grove of trees which' leaves are falling down in autumn. The colors and pattern represent the leaves and the shadow in contrast to the sun making its way to the path below. It's a characteristic tenugui for the autumn season!
"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.
