These are special artisanal tenugui by Echigo Kamekonya, a historic artisan dyer from Niigata, Japan. Tenugui cloth used to be an essential item at households in during Edo Period (1600 - 1868) and still has been loved by people in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTenugui is an essential item for donabe cooking, as you can use it to lift a hot lid or use two for holding handles to carry a donabe. It's more convenient than using oven mitts, and it also makes beautiful rustic presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor other common purposes, tenugui can be used as a wiping cloth, gift wrapping, display on the wall, or even fashion (wrap around neck or used as a bandana). It also makes a beautiful presentation by wrapping a bottle of sake or wine as a gift. You can even cut it in half and use them as small towels or handkerchief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTenugui traditionally has unhemmed ends and natural fraying is part of the beauty of tenugui. The frays can be cut by scissors. This \"unfinished\" end actually helps the cloth to dry faster and prevent the end from collecting dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more you use it, the better the fabric feels to your skin. Also, just like many other Japanese traditional products with wabi sabi beauty, we appreciate how the look of it develops as you use it more and more. The end would fray more and the color starts to fade a little by little, and we hope you enjoy such developments of this traditional tenugui. Tenugui is not a mass-produced machine-made towel. Each piece is slightly different and not uniform. So, we hope you will enjoy this authentic wabi sabi beauty filled with rich history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Here's a good article we found about Tenugui.
