Tenugui with Japanese giant salamander (412)
Description
Giant Salamander.
The giant salamander, which has a length of more than one meter, mainly inhabits mountainous mountain streams and spends most of its life underwater. Since fossils discovered today about 30 million years ago and their present appearance have hardly changed, they have been studied as scientifically important as living fossils, and they are valuable being designated as special natural monuments in Japan. This pattern is a more modern style from Rienzome.
"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.
