This double layered gauze tenugui is extremely soft to the touch and highly absorbent, perfect as a quick drying hand towel at home or travel. Featuring two prints of the artwork 'Red Fuji, Fine Wind, Clear Morning' from Katsushika Hokusai, enjoy this fabric as both a functional and artistic item.
Unlike traditional tenugui, all the edges of this tenugui are hemmed, typically of double gauze tenuguis.
Pair this with the 'Great wave' tenugui for a Hokusai combination.
About tenugui
Tenugui are very thin pieces of cotton fabric. You can use them for pretty much anything. While they are traditionally used as a hand towel because of their superiour absorption properties, you can use them as a table runner, wrap, head scarf (they are commonly used as a head band in Kendo), and even just as a decorative tapestry piece.
