Tenugui Bamboo

A traditional Japanese hand towel made from cotton. Popular as souvenier, for decoration, ecological wrapping of e.g. bottles, hair covering e.g. in kendo. The designs vary from traditional to modern. Unhammed for easier manipulation when wrapping and wringing out. A simple and clever reusable cloth with limitless use.

Due to the hand dyeing method called Chusen, it may lose colour, so we recommend washing it before first use. Hand washing in lukewarm water is recommended. Fibres may come loose on the untrimmed side after the first 2-3 washes, this is natural, cut them off carefully and the loosening will stop.
