Japanese tenugui (手ぬぐい) are cotton fabric, printed with a Japanese design to brighten up your home, or use as a hand towel.

The first syllable 手, of ‘tenugui’ means ‘hand’ in Japanese, and ぬぐい comes from the verb ‘to wipe’.

Traditionally, tenugui were used as hand towels, but unlike Western towels, tenugui are thinly woven and gauzy, making them the ideal medium on which to print artwork. That is why these days, tenugui are used as decorative pieces.
