Tenugui Towels

Browse our fabulous collection of authentic Japanese Tenugui which are highly decorative finely woven thin cotton cloths. In Japan they are commonly used as a hand towel, but can also be displayed on a wall to make a really attractive wall hanging. They usually measure about 34cm wide by 90cm long, have unfinished edges on both ends and are dyed by hand. Order your Japanese Tenugui online today with free Japanese style gift wrapping!

They originate from the Edo period as a cotton towel for ritual cleansing ceremonies and soon becoming a fashionable practical hand towel at the bathhouses. Japanese tenugui come in a stunning range of colours and designs and embody the rich history of Japanese textile design!

Tenugui are now commonly used as Japanese hand towels, washcloths, dishcloths or, as is more common these days, as a stylish wall hanging! We have a great selection of authentic Japanese tenugui in a wonderful variety of bright colours and beautiful designs and if you wish to use them as a wall hanging we recommend you consider the Tapestry Hanging Poles!
