Tenugui(手ぬぐい), or Japanese cotton towel

←These kanji mean " So manymen, so many minds".


I got this tenugui from my Aikido master, when I practiced Aikido. I didn't used this towel for a long time, because it wasn't my taste.


I don't care to get suntan, but rash comes out when I go outside. So, I love to muffle my neck with a tenugui. Suddenly, I wanted to make my original tenugui, and made three tenugui with Japanese cotton called"sarashi".
Since I am wishy-washy , I wanted to shout"喝(katsu) to cheer me up. That's why I wrote this Kanji. I haven't written calligraphy for a long time, but I think my hand writng wasn't so bad. Also, I stamped my name with my handmade stamp.↑



←These are my hand made stamps. I just carved the bottoms.

I painted with acylic pigments. This tenugui is cute, so I love it.↓

Nice job!
Are you using this one as a decoration?

I use this as a towel, and a muffler while weeding. It's so thin that it is very comfortable and easy to dry out.
