Japanese Tenugui – Tsuru

Japanese tenugui in cotton with Japanese crane

On this tenugui in pinkish hues, three cranes take flight among the clouds. This majestic bird is the symbol of peace and longevity in Japan. Stretched in a frame, this Japanese tenugui makes a very nice wall decor. With its strong absorbent power, it can also be used as a hand towel or a face towel.

Note: the tenugui is a thin cotton fabric strip usually measuring 35 by 90 cm. It has no folds or hems so that it can dry quickly. If the edges of your tenugui start to fray, cut the protruding threads with a pair of scissors.
