Tenugui with Camellia (1371), Wax-dyed
Description
Tsubaki
This tenugui is made with a unique new method that combines traditional dying with wax-dying techniques for a breathtaking result. The gorgeous Camellia flowers are beautifully expressed on this brand new style 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.
