Tenugui with Japanese 'Shogi' Chess (1370), Wax-dyed
Description

This tenugui is made with a unique new method that combines traditional dying with wax-dying techniques for a breathtaking result. The pattern features Japanese chess; Shogi. A game enjoyable for young and old that has been around since the 'Heian' period.
"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.
