Tofu Spirits Tenugui
Call them creepy, playful, or just plain weird, but the drawings on this tenugui are quite entertaining. From the bathing tofu man to the one shape-shifting into a tea kettle, each character is vibrantly depicted and hand-dyed on this 100% cotton tenugui cloth.
This quick-drying towel is woven in Kyoto and dyed, color-by-color, for an off-set look. Hang it on your wall for decoration or use in your kitchen to dry off dishes or hands.
A note on the edges
The short ends of tenugui are unfinished. This is intentional. Traditionally, tenugui are left unsewn on the short ends so they dry faster, and stay more hygienic. And historically they would be quickly torn into strips for use as bandages or ties in an emergency.
Because of this, a small amount of fraying on the short ends is normal and expected. It's a traditional feature, not a flaw, and it will stop on its own after the first few washes as the weave settles.
You can also snip or pull off the fraying strings if you prefer.
