Engawa Tenugui Towel
Why We Love It
This is a classic scene of the engawa, a traditional Japanese veranda, lining a tatmami-floored room. Stylish art objects such as the wind chime, uchiwa fans and feline incense burner encapsulate the languid charm of summer days in a Japanese garden.
Hand-stenciled in Tokyo with the traditional chūsen dyeing method onto 100 % cotton, this 15” x 35” (37cm × 90cm) tenugui softens with every wash, ready to serve as a towel, eco-wrap, or striking wall art.
How to Use Your Tenugui Towel
Lightweight, absorbent, and fast-drying, tenugui are the original do-everything cloth:
- Décor: frame it or display with a Japanese cypress hanger for instant art
- Daily essentials: hand towel, washcloth, headscarf, or sweat wipe on hot days
- Home & kitchen: tea towel, table runner, dish dryer, or reusable book cover
- Travel companions: compact beach towel, picnic napkin, or sustainable gift wrap
