Rienzome Tenugui Cloth with Qilin Pattern (433)

$12.17

Time Until Shipping1 week

Qilin / Kirin
Kirin, which is said to appear as a precursor to the arrival of the Taihei world, is counted as one of the four spirits in China along with the phoenix, dragon, and turtle. A statue of Kirin is also enshrined in Nihonbashi, the starting point of the Five Routes, which means that it will take off from Nihonbashi.

"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.
