Description

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

This traditional Japanese tenugui features two rustic waterwheels nestled among graceful grasses and leafy foliage, accented by bold blue ripples that evoke the gentle movement of a flowing stream. Waterwheels symbolize steady progress and prosperity, while water represents renewal and the continuous flow of life, creating a peaceful scene rooted in the rhythms of the countryside.

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.
