The tenugui of Japan

The tenugui is a traditional Japanese cloth, often made of cotton, typically measuring about 35 cm wide and 90 cm long. It is used not only as a fashion accessory but also for practical everyday functions. The patterns of tenugui are often inspired by nature, seasons, or Japanese art, making them visually appealing and meaningful.

Historically, the tenugui was used by workers as a hand towel, a bandana, or even as a napkin. Over time, its use has diversified, and it is now worn as a fashion accessory, wrapped around the neck or hair. The lightness and absorbency of tenugui make it a popular choice, especially during the hot months.

Moreover, each tenugui can carry a particular cultural significance. For example, some patterns represent good fortune, prosperity, or symbols of nature. Whether as a gift or to enhance your own wardrobe, the tenugui is an essential element of Japanese culture.
