Rienzome Tenugui Cloth with Knotweed Pattern (968)

Every Man to his Taste.

The Knotweed pictured on this tenugui are featured in the Japanese proverb?????????????????????????????????- Every man to his taste. The leafs from the knotweed used to be picked and turned into "water pepper vinegar" which would help cure insect bites and some simple diseases and discomforts. Enjoy the beauty of the tenugui along with the proverb and history behind the plants.

"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.
