Tenugui with Roses Pattern (1514)

"Roses"

Blooming beautifully from spring to autumn, roses have been loved all over the world since ancient times, symbolizing youth and beauty, as well as being used for the best perfumes.

"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.
