Typically used as a tea towel or for gift-wrapping or protective wrapping of everyday items such as books and lunch boxes, the tenugui cotton cloth has been a versatile and popular item in Japan for many centuries. These tenugui are produced using the chusen stencil-dying technique, and has a unique texture due to shading and smudging that occurs during the production process.

This festive New Year tenugui depicts the auspicious symbols of crane, turtle and kagami mochi (a stacked rice cake offering that serves as a dwelling place for a deity) in the form of mizuhiki (a knot-tying artform often used to mark special occasions).

Handwashing recommended.
After washing, leave to dry completely.
Leaving the product soaked in water for prolonged periods can cause the colour to fade.

Size: approx. L90 cm x W33 cm
