This Japanese tenugui features a Kayari Buta (蚊遣り豚), the traditional pig-shaped mosquito coil holder associated with summertime in Japan. The large green mosquito coil and curling white smoke create a playful graphic design that evokes warm 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 Kayari Buta design inspired by Japanese summer, this tenugui also makes a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates Japan, traditional Japanese objects and original textiles.
