Tenugui with Maple Trees at Mama (493)
Description
Maple Trees at Mama.
This Tenugui cloth from Rienzome features a motif from the "100 famous views of Edo" woodprints from Hiroshige: The Maple Trees at Mama, the Tekona Shrine and Tsugihashi Bridge. The tenugui features a famous spot for k??y?? (- watching the beautiful scenery all over the country as the autumn changes the color of the leafs), as well as a beautiful, traditional bridge.
"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.
