Japanese tenugui towel/Japanese traditional pattern “Dragonfly” Cotton 100% / Made in Japan

Price range: ¥1,400 through ¥9,000

In Japan, the dragonfly has long been cherished as a beneficial insect because it eats crop‑damaging pests, and it is regarded as a symbol of a rich harvest.
Because dragonflies move only forward and never retreat, samurai warriors called them “kachimushi,” or “victory insects.” For this reason, dragonfly motifs were often used as auspicious designs on armor, weapons, and formal garments.

Our dragonfly pattern is printed in white on a deep navy background, creating a calm, elegant contrast. The design combines a traditional good‑luck motif with a modern, minimal look that suits both everyday use and special gifts.
