Tenugui is a traditional Japanese cotton cloth, originally used as a hand towel.
Lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, it has been an everyday essential in Japan for centuries.
Perfect for summer, simply dampen the tenugui with cool water and wear it around your neck or head for a refreshing way to stay comfortable in hot weather.
Tenugui can be used as:
• hand towels or handkerchiefs
• cooling neck wraps in hot weather
• bandanas or head wraps
• gift wrapping or item wrapping
• table runners or placemats
• cleaning cloths or body towels
The fabric is thin, flexible, and ready to use immediately.
Both ends are left unfinished (cut ends).
This traditional feature allows the fabric to dry quickly, remain hygienic, and suits Japan’s hot and humid climate.
Any initial fraying will naturally stop with use.
