Tenugui Umeen

This Japanese tenugui features a design inspired by an ume plum garden (梅). Stylised white, yellow and red blossoms are connected by delicate branches that stand out against a bright orange-red background.

In Japan, plum blossoms are associated with the end of winter and the approaching arrival of spring. Their early flowering makes them a cherished motif, admired for their delicacy and vitality.

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 bright Japanese-inspired floral design, this tenugui also makes a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese textiles and interior decoration.
