Tenugui are traditional Japanese cotton towels, flat woven and thin, with designs printed on the full length of the cloth. They are practical as hand towels and kitchen cloths, but the quality of the designs available - everything from classical motifs to contemporary illustrations - means many people collect them as much as use them.
A tenugui hung on a wall is a completely different object from one folded in a drawer. The flat cotton surface and the designs - whether a bold marine illustration, a classical floral, or an abstract geometric - read as small pieces of art when displayed at eye level. This kit makes the display simple: one clip holds the top edge, one holds the bottom, and the tenugui hangs taut and flat between them.
Care Instructions: The wooden clips are finished and can be wiped with a damp cloth. The tenugui displayed with the kit should be washed separately the first time to prevent color transfer, using a gentle detergent and air drying flat.
