This listing is for a set of three vintage tenugui - traditional Japanese cotton hand towels.

One towel features lucky motifs including a magic mallet and treasure bag. Another has scattered botanical motifs. The third combines a rabbit, cherry blossom, and snowflakes. A mix of auspicious symbols and whimsical imagery.

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.
