Tenugui – Great Wave

Japanese tenugui in cotton with the Great Wave off Kanagawa

A beautiful indigo color, a bright red sun, an impressive wave that seems to swallow Mount Fuji… On this tenugui, we find one of the famous prints of Hokusai, the Great Wave off Kanagawa, revisited. This Japanese tenugui can be used either as a towel or as a wall decoration.

Note: the tenugui is a thin cotton fabric strip usually measuring 35 by 90 cm. It has no folds or hems so that it can dry quickly. If the edges of your tenugui start to fray, cut the protruding threads with a pair of scissors.
