Japanese Cotton Tenugui: Rienzome Indigo Medallions

This is a precut long piece of 100% cotton, made in Japan by Rienzome, a textile dyeing company that dates back to the 19th century. This is one of their beautiful tenugui. Tenugui translates to "hand towel" but is much more than that. It's a piece of cotton fabric, approximately 14" x 36" (Rienzome's are a little bigger), that can indeed be hemmed and used as a hand towel or tea towel, but also can be quilted, sewn into clothing or other textile goods, or displayed as art. 

I purchased these tenugui in Japan and hope you love them as much as I do! This one features charming medallions on a dark indigo blue background. The dye permeates the fabric so it looks great on both sides.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not yardage, it's sold as a single piece, about 14.5" x 38"
For scale, the small horizontal photo shows the whole design, 5 medallions high by 12 wide. 

NOTE #2: If you are going to use this with other fabrics, please wash it first! Wash by hand in cold water, do not leave to soak. Hang dry only. Irons well.
