Tenugui Asagao

This Japanese tenugui features an asagao (朝顔) design, inspired by the morning glories that are especially popular in Japan during the summer. White and blue flowers, accompanied by small leaves and delicate stems, stand out against a bright blue background, creating a fresh and graceful composition.

In Japan, the asagao is an iconic summer flower. Its name literally means “morning face”, referring to the flowers that open early in the day.

A tenugui (手拭い) is a thin Japanese cotton towel that is lightweight, absorbent and easy to carry. In Japan, it has been used in everyday life for generations.

Versatile and practical, it can be used for drying your hands, wrapping an item or bento box, decorating a table or hanging on the wall as textile art. It can also be worn as a small scarf or headband, or used as reusable gift wrapping.

Its lightweight fabric dries quickly and fits easily into a bag. With its fresh floral design inspired by Japanese summer, this tenugui also makes a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates Japan, flowers and original textiles.
