Tenugui
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Tenugui (手拭い) is a thin Japanese hand towel made of cotton
It is typically about 35 by 90 centimeters in size, plain weaved and is almost always printed with some pattern.
It can be used for anything a towel could be used for - as a washcloth, dishcloth, headband, souvenir or decoration. Towels made from terry cloth have replaced many of its use in the household. However tenugui is still popular as a souvenir, decoration and as a head covering in Kendo
A tenugui frequently appears in anime and manga as a prop during a sento scene.
