Tenugui Oshiro

The Oshiro tenugui is decorated with stylised silhouettes of Japanese castles arranged in different shades of blue. Their distinctive roofs, white walls and geometric shapes create a graphic, elegant and modern composition.

The word “oshiro” means castle in Japanese. Japanese castles are recognisable by their layered roofs, imposing walls and refined architecture. They form an iconic part of Japan’s historical and architectural heritage.

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, this tenugui can be used as a hand towel, small towel, reusable wrapping, wall decoration or accessory. Its vertical format and architectural pattern also make it suitable for displaying as a Japanese textile decoration.

Thanks to its lightweight and compact format, it dries quickly and fits easily into a bag. Its Japanese castle pattern also makes it a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese history, architecture and culture.
