SOU?SOU Tenugui – Sound of Snow Fall

Tenugui are a type of traditional Japanese textile with a characteristically smooth texture that dries easily and repels dust. 100% cotton, hand-dyed and cut by hand, the colorful patterns recall traditional and contemporary Japanese prints. This multipurpose towel lends a pop of color to your daily routine; use it as a tea towel, placemat, table runner, head scarf, tapestry, lunch tote, gift wrapﾡﾭ the possibilities are endless!?Learn how to use tenugui towels to wrap bottles, lunches, and much more in the?Rikumo Journal.

Please note:?Tenugui are purposefully designed without hems, which means that some initial fraying is normal. Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim them with scissors. The frayed edge will develop a natural fringe over time.
