Tenugui – Summer

Japanese cotton made tenugui with cat and goldfish

A moment captured on a hot summer day. This tenugui features a cat at the edge of a pond filled with colorful koi carp. This Japanese illustration is obtained by traditional dyeing technique called chusen. This technique by hand preserves the absorbency of the cotton. The tenugui can be used either as a towel or as a wall decor.

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.
