Japanese Hand Towel Tenugui 100% Cotton Sushi Brown T88 | eBay




This hand towel is called a "tenugui". 
A Tenugui (手拭い) is a thin Japanese hand towel made of cotton. 
It is typically  plain woven and is almost always dyed with some pattern. 
It can be used for anything a towel could be used for - as a washcloth, 
dishcloth, but often as a headband, souvenir or decoration. 
Towels made from terry cloth have replaced many of its use in the household. 
However tenugui are still popular as souvenirs, decorations, and as a head covering in kendo, 
where it functions as a sweatband, as extra padding beneath the headgear (men), 
and to identify the participants by team color.


It is 33 cm x 90 cm  and is 100% cotton.
