Tenugui with Playing Goldfish (941)
Description
Playing Goldish.
This Tenugui towel is a symbol of the Japanese summer. Every since gold fish were introduced to Japan from China, the elegantly moving fish have been popular among the townspeople. Even now they are often kept at summer festival and displayed on decorations for a summery feel.
"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.
