Japanese Tenugui – Whale

Japanese cotton tenugui with whale design

Hand-dyed using a traditional technique dating back to the Meiji era, this tenugui is a practical and versatile item to be adopted in your daily life. Its cotton fabric is highly absorbent, ideal for drying hands or wiping dishes. With its beautiful design representing a whale in the ocean, this tenugui can also be used as a wall decoration.

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.
