Finally, akaihana original tenugui is available! One of the first design is red dahlia, as our name is akaihana (red flower in Japanese).
This is very high quality tenugui, the fabric is super soft Japanese 100% cotton, and design is done by us. Then artisans from Tenugui studio in Japan hand cut the pattern corner to corner, and dye all by hands. At this point, we have 3 different designs of akaihana original Tenugui, please look at last 2 photos for other designs. We also makes handkerchiefs/napkins with these tenugui, they have finished hems.
Tenugui is 100% cotton multipurpose materials, people in Japan use Tenugui as a hand towel, dish towel, handkerchief, wrapping, or materials for sewing and crafting. Whatever however you want, it's up to you! This Tenugui is made in Japan. It has selvages on both sides, and both ends of Tenugui are not finished. The hems are left unfinished because it dries faster since the water doesn't collect on a hem after washing. It will fray for a while, you can cut the string that came off, and eventually it should stop fraying maybe up to 1/4 - 1/3 inches or so.
Size:
about 13 9/16" x 35 5/8" (about 34.5cm x 90.5cm)
Care: washer machine (cold/cool water is the best because of hand dyed), Air dry please, and iron medium/high if you desire. :-) This is real hand dyed fabric, it might discolor for the first few times of laundry, so please be careful about what to wash with.
*Each piece may look slightly different depending on the pattern placement of the fabric.
**I do my best to make photos look true to color, but, colors may vary depending on the screen setting, monitor and/or browser.
***Because of the nature of handmade pieces, the size might be slightly varied.
