Tenugui with Pines (1006)
Description
Strong as a Pine.
This tenugui cloth from Rienzume shows a very traditional pattern of Japanese pines. Pines are a symbol of strength as they never change color and endure hot Japanese summer as well as the cold winter.
"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.
