Tenugui with Patterns of Carps and Torrents (768)

Carps.
This Tenugui cloth carries a pattern of carps in a torrent. It refers to a Chinese tale of a carp going upstream in the yellow river to become a dragon.This tale and the related pattern since long have been iconic symbols for success.

"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.
