Product: Set of 2 Tenugui Cloths 'Godzilla and Hokusai's Great Wave' Japanese Cotton Fabric
Brand: Folcart
Color: Blue
This offer includes a set of 2 different tenugui  that feature an epic mashup, with Godzilla wreaking havoc in a classic scene often referred to as The Great Wave' in English by the woodblock print master Hokusai, perhaps the most well-known Japanese woodblock print in the west.  Unfortunate sailors are tossed in the air with their boat reduced to splinters. One of the two tenugui also features cherry blossoms flutter in the breeze, testament to the transience of life. The other tenugui in this set features a similar motif but without the cherry blossoms, and on a darker color base, a navy blue tone.   They are 100 percent cotton, are made in Japan, and each is about 34 centimeters wide and 90 centimeters long(13.39 inches x 35.43 inches).  Tenugui are traditional Japanese cotton cloths. They were originally used as hand towels and head bands, but are used today mainly as room accents. Tenugui like these are best as decorations. Tenugui are not really towels in the modern western sense. The fabric isn't looped, it is flat. This makes tenugui quite different from terry cloth. So please note the unique qualities of a tenugui before purchase. Tenugui cotton is a plain, flat weave with a plain texture, somewhat similar to the sort of fabric used for bandanas. Tenugui are also distinct in that unlike western style bandanas and other fabrics, the ends are left unfinished, with threads left loose. Because the ends are not sewn, the horizontal threads(the woof) may fray a bit as it's used. If you wash your tenugui hand washing is recommended. The raw ends of tenugui will gradually tighten after being washed a few times. The loose ends of a tenugui and the thin, flat cotton are a part of its rich cultural heritage, but they might not suit your needs if you have a western style fabric in mind. So please consider these things before purchase.
