Tenugui Hanabi

This Japanese tenugui features a motif inspired by hanabi (花火), the fireworks that light up the sky during summer festivals in Japan. The various flower-like bursts are illustrated in white against a deep indigo blue background, creating an elegant composition that evokes the atmosphere of Japanese summer evenings.

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 motif inspired by Japanese summer festivals, this tenugui also makes a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates Japan, matsuri and original textiles.
