Japanese Tenugui – Ume to Tsuru

Elegant Japanese tenugui with cranes and plum blossoms

This refined Japanese towel captures the grace of cranes in flight through blossoming plum branches. Set against a deep black background, red, white, and gold ume flowers bring a touch of brightness and sophistication. Made in Japan from 100% cotton and hand-dyed using traditional techniques, this tenugui is as suitable for display as it is for everyday use.

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—simply trim any loose threads, and the fabric will stabilize naturally after a few washes.
