Tenugui with Red Autumn Leaves (278)
Description
Autumn Leaves.
With Hanami, the Sakura Blossom viewing, in summer - the Japanese do "K??y??" in autmun; watching the beautiful scenery all over the country as the autumn changes the color of the leafs. It makes for a beautiful pattern, often seen on kimono and art works. This tenugui portrays the beautifully colored autumn leaves.
"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.
