Description

Japanese Iris.
This Tenugui cloth from Rienzome features a motif from the "100 famous views of Edo" woodprints from Hiroshige: Horikiri Iris Garden. It features a couple op beautiful, prominent irises in the front, with a large field of irises in the back. In Japanese culture irises are considered to purify evil energies and protect those who wear or carry them; it is therefore a popular pattern for fashion and decoration items.

"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.
