“Tenugui,” made of cotton kimono scraps, were commonly used during the Edo period (1603-1868). Coming from the words “te” (hand) and “nuguu” (to wipe), the tenugui was originally worn as an accessory during Shinto rituals for centuries. This tenugui from <a href="https://www.tippsysake.com/collections/saura" class="text-tippsy-onando underline hover:text-tippsy-blue" target="_self">Saura</a> feature the nearby Shiogama Shrine, to which they have historical ties. Tenugui are great for wrapping sake bottles, to use as towels in baths and in the kitchen, or to use as a bandana. They are intentionally thin and easy to hand wash and hang dry, and consist of a fine weave that feels nice on your skin. Material: Cotton
