Tsukimi (Full Moon)

Hand Towels to be Used for Years to Come Tenugui towels have been a part of Japanese life since the Heian Period. They've been used to dry one’s hands or face, to clean and even wrap. Delicately hand-crafted and dyed by artisans, each tenugui is designed to be used over and over, and will soften and age beautifully as they become part of your home and lifestyle. This design features the autumnal full moon. The Japanese custom of holding special moon-viewing parties, particularly around the full harvest moon, dates back over a thousand years as a way of expressing gratitude for a good harvest. If you're a sake drinker you'll want to pull out a nice bottle as the full moon's reflection in a cup of sake (or any body of water, really) is a wonderful way to appreciate the moon.
