Rienzome Tenugui "Tanabata Festival" (297)
Description
Make a Wish.
This Tenugui from Rienzome features the Tanabata festival that takes place in summer. People write wishes on colorful pieces of paper and hang them on bamboo. This tenugui shows a bamboo tree with these papers in front of a Japanese castle.
"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.
