Japanese cotton tenugui towel, red asanoha pattern

Versatile, the tenugui has established itself in Japanese daily life as the all-purpose towel. Drying dishes, wrapping a bento, wiping sweat from the forehead, decorating furniture, tying up hair… With its fine cotton mesh, the tenugui is sturdy and highly absorbent. This model features a traditional Japanese pattern called asanoha. Inspired by hemp leaves, it symbolizes vitality and robustness, in the image of this vigorous plant.

Note: tenugui is a strip of fine cotton fabric, generally measuring 35 by 90 cm. It has no folds or hems, so it dries quickly. If the edges of your tenugui start to fray, trim any protruding threads with a pair of scissors.
