Tenugui(te=hands, nugui =wipe) are Japanese cotton towels. These towels are not only for wiping your hands but also have a number of traditional uses and applications. As far back as the ancient Kofun Era (250 - 538 AD), a clay figurine called haniwa was found with a tenugui wrapped around its head. Tenugui has as many uses as your imagination. There are several ways of using this simple cloth to bring a unique part of traditional Japanese culture into your life. Here are three: (1) Wrapping; (2) Decorating; and (3) Well-being.
We hope that this 100% hand-made pure cotton towel will give you a tangible taste of ancient Japanese culture. As we are never completely able to escape from our hectic daily schedule we sometimes easily forget about the happiness that comes thorough very simple pleasures; Cherry blossoms in the park, the scent of early summer rain, the color of golden leaves, and the purity of freshly fallen snow... We believe that tenugui can help make you aware of the changing seasons, make you take a deep breath, and hopefully bring a bright smile to your face.
