Additionally, tenugui often carry cultural significance, with certain patterns symbolizing good fortune or specific occasions. Today, they continue to be popular in Japan and are appreciated for their blend of functionality and artistry. The dye may come out of this towel the first few times you use it. Wash it separately from other laundry the first few times. Or, gently hand wash it in room temperature water. -------- The history of tenugui There are various theories about the history of tenugui, but it is said that it began in the Heian period and became widely used among common people in the early Edo period. Originally, they were used as accessories for Shinto ceremonies and as simple headgear (bamboo hats and hoods) for ceremonies and sun protection, but as time passed, they became popular among common people as hand towels. There are several reasons why the ends of tenugui are not sewn. In modern times, when we use a dryer when washing clothes, hygiene issues can be solved, but tenugui have been popular since the Edo period in Japan and were used as first aid. For example, if you get injured and need to stop the bleeding or fix the wound, if the ends of the tenugui are left unsewn, you can just tear the fabric with your hands and use it as first aid. Since the beginning of the Edo period, when tenugui became popular among the common people, they have been used not only to wipe away dirt and blood when you are injured, but also to hold a stick together with a broken bone to fix it, or to fix a broken geta thong... In keeping with this tradition, the ends of tenugui are still left unsewn so that they can be easily torn by hand. You may not see this often in modern times with well-developed medical care, but it's useful to know that they can be used for first aid in case of an emergency. Carrying one with you when hiking or climbing a mountain will give you peace of mind.
