Introducing Nuno Chiyo Tenugui, straight from Osaka

Manufactured by a specialist store for various textile products, including han-ten and tenugui, committed to all domestic production and sales since its establishment in 1976.

The origins of the tenugui can be traced back to the Nara period, where it was said to be used as an ornament during festivals. In the Edo period, with the flourishing cultivation of cotton, tenugui emerged from the leftover fabric used in making cotton kimono. Even today, it remains an essential item in daily life, making the tenugui a familiar and cherished object for the Japanese people.

Experience the Lasting Comfort of
100% Cotton Tenugui

A 100% cotton tenugui is not only incredibly durable and long-lasting, but it also offers comfort that improves with time. The more you use it, the softer it becomes, adapting beautifully to your skin's touch.

Whether you're using it as a towel, a wrap, or a stylish accessory, it only gets better with age—becoming a true everyday essential that combines practicality with timeless style. And when it's worn out, you can give it a second life as a cleaning wipe, making it an eco-friendly choice for your home.

From everyday items to fashion and home decor, countless ways to use it.

1. To Wipe
As the name "tenugui" suggests, it's perfect for wiping various surfaces. Its lightweight and quick-drying properties make it an excellent choice for a handkerchief, dishcloth, or even as a wet towel.

2. To Wrap & Roll
With a bit of creativity in how you fold it, you can easily use it to wrap your bento lunch, carry a water bottle, or even cover a tissue box. It’s a versatile item that can be swiftly tied around your neck or worn as a bandana.
