WAJIN 'Hare' Japanese Beauty Tenugui Cotton Towel - Lotus H-004

All tenugui are hand painted and come in a beautiful gift box - ready for giving. 

This "Lotus" design displays large lotus leafs and flowers floating on the surface of the water. With a gentle color scheme and a soft touch, a little "Western" scent is incorporated to create a slightly modern tenugui. Note the shadow of a small fish swimming in the water!

"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.
