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

One towel features the character for longevity. Another combines lucky motifs such the magic mallet and treasure bag. The third highlights pine boughs and bamboo leaves. 

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.
