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.
