Blacksmith Tools Tenugui
Tenugui earn their keep as kitchen towels, hand towels, headbands, gift wrap, and wall hangings all at once. The flat cotton weave is thinner and lighter than terrycloth, dries faster, and takes on designs that would look muddy on a looped pile fabric. They also make excellent gifts precisely because they are useful rather than decorative-only.
This design repeats navy blue line art of kitchen knives, sheathed blades, sickles, pruning shears, pliers, and saws in narrow pinstriped columns across a cream ground. Kanji characters for sharp, blade, and cherry blossom are worked into the pattern, a quiet nod to the tools and craft behind Japanese cutlery.
Care Instructions: Hand wash separately in cold water. Edges are left unfinished, as is traditional with tenugui, and will naturally soften over time.
Details:
Material: 100% cotton
Design: Knife and tool line art with kanji accents
Dimensions: Approximately 35 in x 14 in (89 x 36 cm)
Made in Japan
