Tenugui are traditional Japanese cotton towels, flat woven, thin, and completely unlike a Western terrycloth towel. They dry fast, feel light in hand, and are versatile enough to use as a hand towel, kitchen cloth, headband, gift wrap, or wall hanging. Many people collect them for the designs alone.
This pufferfish, or fugu, design is printed in deep indigo with crisp white accents. Fugu is one of the most iconic fish in Japanese culinary culture - prized for its delicate flavor and famous for the precision required to prepare it safely. This particular design captures a cluster of puffers that, as the original copy notes, has the look of a well-stocked fish tank.
Care Instructions: Dyed tenugui may fade slightly during the first two or three washes, so wash separately the first time using a gentle detergent. After washing, squeeze lightly to smooth out wrinkles and allow the towel to air dry. Both ends are intentionally left unhemmed in the traditional tenugui style and will fray slightly over time - simply trim loose threads as needed. The fraying will naturally stop and form a soft edge.

This is a great looking towel! The colors are much better in person. The indigo blue really stands out and is vibrant! It's so great looking that I am not sure if I want to hang it up as an art piece at my office or use it in the kitchen. Thank you again Mark!
