Description

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

Capture the strength and freedom of a spirited horse rendered in expressive sumi-style brushwork, paired with the kanji "Yūshin," meaning "brave advance" or "courageous progress." Produced for Takahashi Farm, this striking design evokes determination and forward momentum, making it a wonderful choice for collectors who appreciate bold Japanese imagery and equestrian themes. And afterall, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse!

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.
