These tenugui are made from 100% cotton fabric known as “Sōri.” Using a dyeing technique called “chusen,” the fabric is dyed all the way through to the reverse side, allowing you to enjoy the pattern on both sides. The beautiful color gradients created by the blending of colors are also charming.The fabric is very durable and can be used for many years. The more you use them, the softer and more comfortable they become against your skin. Although very thin, they are highly absorbent and dry quickly.
They’re compact and don’t take up much space, so you can easily carry them with you. You can use them not only as handkerchiefs but also drape them around your neck, wear them on your head to block the sun, or—since they’re long—tie them to secure things. In the kitchen, they can serve as dish towels, covers for food, or—if they have stylish patterns—even as table mats. When they get old, you can use them as rags to wipe up messes before throwing them away.
I believe the tenugui is one of Japan’s proudest traditional items.
Please enjoy tenugui in your own way.

The product may have a slight dye odor.
This will gradually fade with repeated washing.
Since these are hand-dyed by artisans, even identical items may vary slightly in color, such as uneven coloring or slight bleeding.
The raw, unfinished edges of the tenugui are a traditional design choice—they dry quickly, are more hygienic, and can be easily torn off for first aid in case of injuries.
At first, you may notice loose threads, but please trim only the protruding parts.
As you use it, the fraying will stop.
The color may run when you first start using it, so for the first 2–3 washes, do not use detergent. Wash it by hand separately from other laundry, swishing it thoroughly in plenty of lukewarm water.
Gently wring it out, smooth out any wrinkles, and hang it to dry.
Dark-colored items are particularly prone to color bleeding.
