Description
Cloudy Picture.
This hand-dyed Tenugui towel displays a pattern made by folding the fabric several times in a box of a wooden crate, and further binding the dye tightly around the rope. It takes many years of experience and technology to master this technique as the dye won't "stain" the cloth if it's bound too long or is too clogged. A beautifully colored, mysteriously looking tenugui.
"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.
