History:
Tenuguis Have Been Part Of Japanese Life Since The Heian Period, When Kyoto Was The Nation’S Capital And Japanese Literature, Art And Architecture Were Thriving – From 794 To 1185! In The Heian Period, Tenuguis Were Used To Dry Hands, Wrap Valuables And Clean The Home. 500 Years Later, In Japan’S Edo Period (1608 – 1868), Tenugui Cloths Become More Of A Fashion Accessory Where Men And Women Wear Them Around The Head And Neck To Absorb Sweat And Protect The Skin Against The Sun. The Appeal Of Tenugui Cloths From The Heian Till Now Is The Same: The Cloth Becomes Softer As You Use It, And The Colorful Patterns Stay Beautiful Even After Years Of Use. It Is A Daily Commodity And An Understated Piece Of Traditional Handcraft That Can Be Used In Everyday Life.
