Kakig??ri
Once upon a time, summer ice was very valuable. At the imperial court, the ice stored in the ice house from winter was carefully eaten at the summer party. Even in the present age when refrigeration equipment is widespread, the time to wait while listening to the sound of shaving big ice cubes at the storefront of an ice shop is a happy time in the hot summer.

"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.
