・Material: 100% Cotton

This Japanese hand towel features the Yabane (arrow feather) motif — a traditional geometric pattern historically associated with direction, determination, and protection. With clean lines and rhythmic repetition, the pattern is believed to symbolize moving forward and warding off misfortune. Printed in deep navy on soft cotton, this tenugui blends centuries of cultural symbolism with modern functionality.

Tenugui have a long and storied history in Japan, dating back to the Heian period. Originally used by samurai and aristocrats, they evolved into an everyday essential. Lightweight, quick-drying, and multipurpose — they serve not only as hand towels, but also as neck scarves, wristbands, gift wraps, kitchen cloths, interior décor, or even ceremonial items in martial arts and tea culture.

This Tenugui is made in Japan with care and precision by Miyamoto Towel, a company renowned for its craftsmanship and commitment to traditional Japanese textiles.

Whether you're drawn to its design or seeking a unique and practical piece of Japan, this tenugui makes a beautiful, meaningful addition to your daily life.
