Tenugui Towel - Swallow

34×90cm / 13.4 x 35.4 inches

100% Cotton

Made in Japan

"Tenugui" is a traditional Japanese towel used for anything—as a washcloth or dishcloth, but often as a tapestry, decoration, quilt, headband, souvenir, or for wrapping items such as bottles.
The feature is dyed up from white cotton cloth. Enjoy the beauty of Japanese traditional Nassen Tenugui. Please note that Tenugui has unfinished edges on top and bottom. 

"Chusen" is a traditional method of dyeing using stencil paper. Since the dye infiltrates the cloth, the patterns appear on both sides. When the tenugui is used for a long time, the dye fades, giving it a well-aged look.

The "Rien-zome" brand was created by an authentic Tenugui producer named TODAYA SHOUTEN at Ningyo-cho, Tokyo. They have been producing a wide variety of Tenugui since 1872. They focus on a traditional hand-dyeing method called "Chu-sen." Also, they have had many great designs for years. Enjoy Rien-zome Tenugui, handmade by skilled artisans!
