Tenugui with White and Blue Wave Pattern (620)

Japanese Waves.
This hand-dyed Tenugui towel features a classic Japanese kimono pattern of blue and white waves. This design is very simple but it leaves a strong impression. A real must for Japan aficionados.

"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.
