" Tenugui, or strips of dyed cooton cloth, have been traditionally used as towel, handkerchief , bandage or headgear, as situation required."
Quoted from postcard book of tenugui designs from the Edo period
Here are some spreads from the book.

I picked up this fun illustration While I was in Kyoto. 8 different ways to use your tenugui.
I bought this tenugui with "hulu" (bottle gourd) pattern in Tortoise. They also sell them online.
Friends, have a nice weekend!!
Those illustrations are adorable!
ReplyDeletewow! i love them..
ReplyDeletea japanese friend gave me a tenugui when i visited her in tokyo last year..
i think its so beautiful having pieces of fabric to use for all sorts of things (like in the illustration!)
i might link this post to my blog, is that ok?
yes! tenugui is one of my favorite japanese traditions! function + beauty = love
ReplyDeletei fell in love with tenugui last time i was in japan, and was sorry that i didn't buy many, many more. i discovered this company, which makes wonderful ones, while i was there on my trip: www.raak.jp. they make some fantastic designs, which you can browse on their website.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of tenugui before but sounds a fantastic idea! I love the patterns in this post, and so many other things in your blog. I keep finding new stuff to awe to. Thank you.
