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

Centered around a stylized mountain landscape in earthy tones, this traditional Japanese tenugui combines bold commemorative text with a scenic design. The upper kanji translate to "Commemorating the Awards of the 17th Prefectural Tournament", while the lower text identifies the "Tajima Town Welfare Association for Persons with Physical Disabilities", making this a meaningful souvenir celebrating achievement and community support.

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.
