Japanese Tenugui – Sakura Ame

Japanese tenugui with pastel cherry blossom rain and blue birds

This delicate Japanese towel immerses you in a poetic scene of sakura petals drifting down like rain, as two blue birds perch peacefully on flowering branches. Printed on a lightweight cotton tenugui, it’s hand-dyed using traditional techniques that bring out the soft pastel tones with elegance and subtlety.

Refined and versatile, it makes a thoughtful gift or a charming piece of wall decor.

For easy hanging, consider a wooden tenugui support.

Note: Tenugui is a fine Japanese cotton fabric, intentionally unhemmed for faster drying. The edges may fray slightly at first—just trim any loose threads, and the fabric will stabilize naturally after a few washes.
