Know before you buy
A tenugui is traditionally thinner, lighter, and faster-drying than a plush terry cloth towel. Because it is made of 100% cotton, it is highly absorbent yet compact, making it ideal for travel or daily use in the kitchen and bathroom.
The towel features a pile backing, which provides a softer, more familiar feel against the skin compared to traditional flat-weave tenugui. It balances the durability of Japanese craftsmanship with a comfortable, absorbent surface.
We recommend machine washing in cold water with like colors and air drying to maintain the integrity of the traditional prints. Avoid using harsh bleach, as it can fade the authentic Japanese designs over time.
Yes, its 34x90cm size makes it incredibly versatile. Beyond the bathroom, it functions well as a kitchen dish cloth, a decorative table runner, or even a stylish wrap for gifts.
While some minor softening of the color is natural with 100% cotton textiles, the meticulous craftsmanship ensures the prints remain vibrant through regular use. Following the care instructions will help preserve the design's clarity.
