WDG TENUGUI - Random Assort 7 Pieces (Japan-Cool Set)
Brand: WDG
Color: Black

It is around Kamakura era that Tenugui are said to have begun spreading in the Japanese. Since then, tenugui had been integrated into the Japanese lives as a cool fashion item like Yukata, a cotton kimono for summer. As the downtown area of Edo was covered with a lot of sandy dust, people are said to have worn tenugui as hats or scarves and competed for their fashionable patterns. The remnants of tenugui are without being hemmed, because they were cut and sold depending on the purpose. Typically, it is made of cotton, whose size is about 33inches long by 13inches wide. The ends are without being hemmed, this allows the cloth to dry much faster, not to get dusty, and protects its turned edges from dirt. These benefits made sense in humid country of Japan. In addition, when tear up to use as a bandage, it is convenient that not sewed. (The fray of their edges stops at about 0.2 or 0.3 inches.)

It is the set which we select 7 kinds of Japanese-style patterns as at random. We choose 7 randomly from a variety of cool Japanese patterns (There are many more patterns this image). The combination of patterns can not select.
This package includes the 2 types of tenugui, which are manufactured differently. Please use according to your application. The one is without being hemmed type (It is the traditional manufacturing method of the tenugui. It is easy to dry and keeps a hygienic state). Another is being hemmed type (Because an edge does not become frayed, the handling is easy).
