Japanese Tenugui – Four Seasons

Japanese Tenugui towel in cotton with Four Seasons on Mount Fuji print

Tenugui, a beloved medium in Japanese art, is crafted from thin cotton and dyed using the traditional Nassen technique. This method involves applying natural pigments to the fabric through stencils and then heat-setting them. The outcome is intricate patterns and vivid colors. This particular tenugui is exceptional, featuring a print illustrating the four seasons on Mount Fuji. Whether hung or framed, it serves as a captivating piece that brings the essence of Japan into any space.

For hanging, consider a wooden tenugui stand.

Note: tenugui is a strip of fine cotton fabric, usually measuring 34 by 90 cm. It has no folds or hems, so it dries quickly. If the edges of your tenugui start to fray, trim any protruding threads with a pair of scissors.
