What is Tenugui?
手拭 (Tenugui) are traditional Japanese cotton hand towels, valued for their versatility and unique designs. Lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, they have been a part of daily life in Japan for centuries. Often worn around the head or neck, especially in summer, Tenugui help absorb sweat while adding a cultural touch.
About This Tenugui

Why Are the Edges Unhemmed?
Traditional Tenugui are designed with raw edges that may fray slightly at first but will naturally stop over time. This ensures:
Quick drying – Reduces moisture buildup and bacteria growth Better hygiene – Stays fresh longer without trapping dirt Versatility – Can be easily repurposed when needed
