Japanese Tenugui – Ume Daruma

Colorful Japanese tenugui with Daruma and Ume blossoms

Bring a touch of luck and Japanese tradition to your everyday life with this Japanese towel adorned with a Daruma and plum blossoms (ume), both symbols of renewal and optimism. Made in Japan from 100% cotton, this colorful tenugui is dyed using a traditional method that enhances the design while preserving its excellent absorbency.

Lightweight and quick-drying, this Japanese fabric can be used in multiple ways: as wall art, a furoshiki wrap, or a hand towel. Both beautiful and functional, it makes a thoughtful gift—or a lovely treat for yourself.

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 settle naturally after a few washes.
