Japanese Tenugui Towel - Ichimatsu (Checkered Pattern) [Black]

Crafted with a focus on the “gentle nature of natural materials,” this tenugui towel is made in Japan from 100% cotton. One key feature of tenugui is its unfinished edges, which allow for quick drying, minimizing bacterial growth and providing a refreshing feel with each use.

Over time, the fabric softens, increasing its absorbency and making it even easier to use, deepening its charm and familiarity with each wash. If we were to compare it to clothing, tenugui resembles vintage denim, where the joy of using it lies in its evolving texture. Tenugui has been cherished in Japan for centuries, and recently, its simple, traditional design and functionality have garnered renewed appreciation.

A tenugui can be used in many ways: not only as a hand towel but also to dry dishes, as a dust cover, or even as an interior piece, such as a tapestry. Its versatility makes it a handy item to keep around.

Note: The color may bleed slightly when first washed. Please wash separately from other items.
