A tenugui is a common household item in Japan. These versatile cloths can be used as anything from washcloths, to headbands, to simply for decoration.
These humble cloths date back to the Heian era (794-1192 AD). Worn for summer festivals, kendo practice, and even used as props for storytellers, tenugui are an important part of Japanese culture and history
Chu-sen dyeing is a technique unique from the more common process of screen printing images and patterns onto the fabric that make Tenugui. While screen printing merely lays pigment on the surface of the fibers, Chu-sen dyeing seeps all the way through to permanently color the fabric. Thus, a Chu-sen dyed Tenugui will be as bright and beautiful from the front as it will be from the back. Read more of the Chu-sen Dyeing process on our blog HERE.

Tenugui edges are purposely seamless for better hygiene and quick drying. After a few washes, you may find that the cloth has frayed. Use a pair of scissors to trim the loose threads. The more you use the cloth, the more the edges will stop fraying due to the tightening of the fabric.
** If you would like the edges of your tenugui to be finished, we can hem the edges at an additional cost of $2.00 per tenugui.
Add Tenugui Hem Fee to cart when requesting edges to be hemmed.
