Rienzome Tenugui Cloth

The unhemmed edges are a traditional feature that prevents moisture from building up in the fabric. This allows the cloth to dry significantly faster than a standard hemmed towel, which is essential for hygiene and daily utility.

You may see a few loose threads at the edges initially, but this is normal for a traditional Tenugui. After a few washes, the fabric naturally tightens and stops fraying, creating a soft, durable edge.

Chusen is a traditional Japanese technique where dye is poured through a stencil onto stacked layers of fabric. This method ensures the pattern penetrates through to both sides of the cloth, resulting in a vibrant, long-lasting design that doesn't fade easily.
