"Rabits on Mochibana"
Mochibana is a Japanese New Year's decoration that uses white and pink colored mochi wrapped around willow branches to simulate blossoms. These tenugui make for an excellent New Year's decoration, souvenirs or gifts for anyone who has something to celebrate in 2023. The rabbit zodiac is thought to be the luckiest of the twelve animals. It signifies forgiveness, grace and beauty. After the bold year of the Tiger, the year of the Rabbit is expected to the calm, quiet and peaceful.
"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.
