NIP Japanese Hamamonyo Gift Wrapping Scarf Decoration

Description: 35" L x 13" W Hamamonyo Tenugui Handkerchief is cut to half the size of an ordinary tenugui to make it more portable.This handkerchief maintains the advantages of a tenugui in that it is highly absorbent and dries easily.The Tenugui Handkerchief feature such designs as the standard hamamonyo patterns, seasonal patterns, the “Hitokoto Handkerchief” with a message, the easy-to-use ABC handkerchief made with the letters of the alphabets, and the Iroha Handkerchief using differing designs for all 47 characters of the Japanese kana alphabet. A tenugui (手拭い) is a thin Japanese hand towel made from cotton. Typically, tenugui are about 35 by 90 centimeters in size, plain woven, and almost always dyed with some pattern. Usually the long sides are finished with a selvage, and the short sides are just cut and so soon show some fraying.[1] A tenugui is often used in ways that towels are used,such as being used as a washcloth or dishcloth, for example. They are often used as headbands, souvenirs, decorations, or for wrapping bottles and similar items. Towels made from terry cloth have largely replaced tenugui in household use. However tenugui are still popular as souvenirs, decorations, and as a head covering in kendo, where it functions as a sweatband and provides extra padding beneath the headgear (men). Furoshiki (風呂敷) are a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth traditionally used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods.
