Description

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

A border of stylized blue blossoms borders this traditional Japanese tenugui, giving it a clean, classic design with a touch of vintage charm. The bold kanji identify Nibei Seisakusho, ("Nibei Sawmill"), with the smaller text reading "Nakamachi, Aizu-Tajima", making this a nostalgic advertising tenugui from a local lumber business in Tajima.

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.
