Tenugui are traditional Japanese cotton towels known for their smooth, thin weave and versatility. Unlike thick Western terrycloth towels, tenugui dry quickly and are easy to fold, making them ideal for everyday kitchen use, hand drying, or light cleanup. This Tuna design features a playful Japanese motif that also works beautifully as simple décor.
Today, tenugui are often used beyond their original purpose—as wall hangings, drawer liners, or decorative table runners. Affordable and easy to collect, they’re found throughout Japan in gift shops and specialty stores. This tenugui measures 35cm x 90cm (13.75" x 35"), a classic size that balances function and display.
Care Instructions:
Please note that dyed tenugui may fade slightly during the first 2–3 washes. Wash separately using a gentle detergent. After washing, lightly squeeze to smooth wrinkles and air dry. The ends are left unhemmed; slight fraying is normal and will naturally stop as excess threads are trimmed, forming a soft fringe.
