Part of what makes tenugui so popular as gifts and collectibles is the sheer range of designs - traditional motifs sit alongside playful modern illustrations, and the flat cotton weave prints beautifully in either direction. They are lightweight enough to collect seriously without running out of space.
Hanefuda are traditional Japanese flower cards, a card game with centuries of history that uses 48 cards organized around twelve months and their associated flowers. The imagery - pine, plum blossom, cherry, wisteria, iris, peony, hagi, susuki grass, chrysanthemum, maple, willow, and paulownia - is among the most recognizable in Japanese traditional design.
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.
