Tenugui with Lemon pattern (1509)
Description
Lemon
Lemon cultivation began in Japan in Meiji 6. It spreads to temperate regions suitable for cultivation.
Lemon has a refreshing aroma and a strong image of summer, but the harvest time is after it gets cold.
"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.
