Chusen-Dyed Tenugui River Breeze and Cherry Blossoms Hanami Handkerchief Made in Japan Pink 33 x 90cm

This tenugui is dyed using the traditional Japanese chusen dyeing technique, giving it an elegant and distinctive charm.
Each piece is carefully hand-dyed, resulting in a beautiful finish with no front or back. The fabric becomes softer and more comfortable with use, and watching your tenugui develop over time is one of the unique pleasures of chusen dyeing.

Tenugui can be used in many ways:
As interior decoration, during meals, for cooking, as a dust cover, as a handkerchief, as a gift, or for wrapping.
Use your imagination and enjoy using it with the same stylish flair as people did during the Edo period.

It is highly absorbent, dries quickly, and becomes softer and more distinctive the more it is used.

Tenugui have unfinished edges, so they may fray at first, but this will gradually stop after several washes.

River, Wind, and Cherry Blossoms
In ancient times, cherry trees were revered as sacred trees.
People viewed their blossoms as a sign of the year's harvest and gathered to admire them in hopes of predicting a bountiful crop.
