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.
The bubble fish design brings a playful, illustrative energy to the tenugui format - small fish surrounded by bubbles, printed with the bold contrast and flat graphic style that suits the cotton weave. It is a natural companion to the other marine-themed tenugui in this collection and makes an easy gift for anyone who spends time near the water.
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.
