Hirali Tenugui (Ochugen)

A longtime fixture in Japanese homes, the tenugui is an all-purpose textile with as many applications as you can imagine. When used as a towel, Hirali Tenugui absorb moisture quickly and dry just as fast - thanks to the lack of a hem along two edges - making them handy additions to any kitchen or bathroom. Add a reversible tenugui to your wardrobe as a bold accessory, or set one out as a table runner your guests will love. Give a tenugui as a decorative gift, or grab one to dress up your bento box. Try a Hirali Tenugui for yourself and experience a perfect combination of function and form. Learn about the craft behind the creation of Hirali textiles and the inspiration for their vibrant motifs in the Rikumo Journal. Please note: Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems, which means that some initial fraying is normal and expected. Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim with scissors as needed. The frayed edges will develop a natural fringe with time. About Takeno SenkoFrom its
