Discover the Tenugui: Tradition, Art, and Versatility in One Unique Piece

The Tenugui (手ぬぐい), is a traditional Japanese cotton towel, is more than just a practical item. With its simple, embroidery-free design and lightweight 35x90 cm fabric, it’s a versatile accessory: from a hand towel, handkerchief, or bandana, to a decorative piece or even a tool for sports like kendo.

This particular Tenugui features an original artwork by JEE Saya (Tatpooh, 彫物 プーさん), inspired by the rich tradition of Japanese Irezumi culture.

Fun Fact: During the time of samurais and farmers, the tenugui was highly valued for its ability to be easily torn in emergencies, whether to make a tourniquet or repair straw sandals.

Today, the tenugui serves as both a practical accessory and a symbol of culture and art, making it perfect for anyone who appreciates Japanese tradition. Take it with you or decorate your space with this unique fusion of tradition and artistic expression!
