This tenugui (hand towel) is made of linen. It has a light and gentle touch. It is highly absorbent and wicking, and can be kept clean. Please feel how comfortable it is to use.
It dries more easily than cotton, so it will come in handy when traveling. Our staff members use it in place of a handkerchief or towel, or wrap it around their necks like a scarf to protect them from the sun during their travels.
I was taking advantage of strong USD to Japanese ¥, and I am glad I did order many things! :-)
Everything arrived in less than anticipated time frame for delivery and is in perfect condition due to the efficiently and meticulously packed merchandise! I am still mesmerized how efficient Japanese way of packing so many items in this box with no space wasted, yet it is so obvious that it was done with TLC so nothing is damaged! I learned as I unpacked! Everybody needs to learn packing like Japanese! :-)
Opening the package was a great pleasure with a sense of anticipation and mystery even though I knew what I ordered. You could feel the TLC when unwrapping each item like it is coming from a good friend!
I felt confident as always ordering beautiful products from Shokunin, as they are of good quality which will last a long time if I take care of them well and hope could extend their life to the next generation. I kept telling my son that he would inherit those beautiful items ;-). Wish I could get everything they offer..:-).
