This Japanese tenugui features a pattern of Japanese dragonflies known as tonbo (蜻蛉), delicately displayed in white against a navy blue background. In Japan, the dragonfly is traditionally associated with courage, strength and moving forward because of its determined flight.
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 to dry your hands, wrap a bento box, decorate a table or hang on a wall as textile art. It can also be worn as a scarf or headband, or used as reusable gift wrapping.
The lightweight fabric dries quickly and fits easily into a bag. With its traditional dragonfly pattern and elegant navy blue and white colours, this tenugui also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in Japan and Japanese textiles.
