Japanese tenugui have a natural home at a knife shop - the flat cotton weave takes traditional and contemporary designs equally well, and the range of motifs available in Japan is remarkable. We carry a rotating selection of designs chosen for their quality of printing and the strength of the image.
Jellyfish are a recurring subject in Japanese textile and ceramic art, valued for their graceful, flowing forms and the sense of quiet movement they suggest. This design renders the subject with the clean lines and contrast that work best on the tenugui format.
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.
