Seller: kyotocollection ✉️ (23,133) 0%, Location: Kyoto, JP, Ships to: US, Item: 310680821510 Tenugui Cloth Japanese Cotton Towel Gauze 'Red and White Camellias' Fabric. Before ordering, please note: Our Los Angeles office has permanently closed and we no longer offer shipping from within the US. All orders to US addresses as well as those outside the US are now shipped from Kyoto, Japan, and typical shipping time via Japan Post is about 2-3 weeks. So please take this timing into consideration before placing your order, and please allow a bit of extra time to account for occasional customs delays.

This tenugui features camellia blossoms on a striped red and white base. It's double sided with a front and back side and is about 13" wide and 35" long(33cm x 88.9cm).   Tenugui were originally used as hand towels(the word tenugui literally means 'hand-wipe') and as head coverings, similar to bandanas.  As terry cloth towels came into wide use in Japan,  the demand for tenugui as towels decreased.  But thanks to a steady flow of new designs as well as faithful, high quality reproductions of classic motifs, tenugui remain popular for various other uses, not only in Japan, but abroad. This one and others that note 'cotton gauze' in the listing title are especially suited for use as head coverings, as the gauze is breathable and absorbs perspiration well.  It's also fast drying and durable and gets softer and softer with use. If you zoom in with your mouse on the closeup photo, you can see the texture more clearly.  If there's a Japanese festival near you and you plan to take part, these are just the way to get into the spirit!  And even if you don't have such a chance, these cotton gauze tenugui are a great alternative to a bandana when you're playing tennis, hiking, cycling, doing yard work, etc. Around the house, they make wonderful room accents,  whether on the wall or as table runners and place mats. This fabric is similar to the type used for my popular Kyoto made nemaki house robes,  another wonderful way to add a Japanese touch to your daily routine. If you've purchased my furoshiki wrapping cloths, please note that this cotton gauze is more porous and might not be as suitable for some fabric projects. And unlike my furoshiki, tenugui are not finished at the ends, threads are left loose.
