Tenugui - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

With classic Christmas music playing in the background, mince pies warming in the oven and a glass of something merry, decorating the Christmas tree has become a ritual in many households.

If you are looking to add to your collection of festive decorations, this pretty Tenugui is all you need to enchance your wonderfully inviting display.

Traditionally tenugis were used as hand towels. This humble fabric has a range of uses in modern life. Use it as a fashion accessory, an eco-friendly option to wrap a gift or even as a piece of art to adorn your home.

Produced by skilled artisans on hand woven cotton, using a traditional hand dyeing method called chusen. Chusen is a 300-year-old technique that combines bleached cotton and resist paste using katagami (paper) stencils to create colourful patterns.

Wooden frame not supplied.
