Rienzome Tenugui Cloth with Traditional Japanese Fans (645)
Description
Summer Fans.
A well known sight for anyone who has every experienced the hot Japanese summer; traditional fans. In many traditional artworks they can be admired, often matching women's beautiful outfits. Some were even decorated with small bells so they would make a pleasant sound every time they were swung.
"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.
