Tenugui (Japanese Hand Towels) 手拭い

Tenugui (手拭い) are traditional Japanese hand towels made from soft, lightweight cotton. Simple in form but rich in cultural history, tenugui are used for drying hands, wrapping gifts, as headwear, or displayed as art.

Each tenugui in our collection showcases artisan craftsmanship, often featuring seasonal motifs or traditional Japanese patterns. Many are dyed using centuries-old techniques like chusen or katazome. Whether you're looking for something functional or decorative, a tenugui is a timeless expression of Japanese design and practicality.
