Description

This listing is for a vintage tenugui - traditional Japanese cotton hand towel.

Graceful origami cranes rest among stylized pine boughs in this elegant traditional Japanese tenugui. Cranes symbolize longevity, peace, and good fortune, while pine trees represent resilience, steadfastness, and enduring life, making this a thoughtful design filled with auspicious meaning.

There are signs of age with stains, fading, mottling, and edge wear consistent with vintage textiles. See photos and zoom in for details.

Tenugui hand towels have countless uses, from drying hands and wrapping gifts to home decor, crafting, and displaying.

See the video about the chusen dyeing technique often used in making tenugui hand towels.
