Tenugui towel maneki neko

Tenugui towel maneko neko

Tenugui is a traditional Japanese cotton towel / cloth. It usually measures approximately 35 x 90 cm and is made of smooth, thin cotton with raw, unhemmed shorter edges. Tenugui has many uses - it can be a cloth, a hand or face towel, or a headband (protecting against sweat during training or physical work). In the past, it was an indispensable attribute of craftsmen and warriors, and today tenugui still has a practical use, but not only that. It is also a cultural and decorative element - tenugui often have interesting designs, which is why they may be hanged on the wall like a picture, can be used as elegant gift wrapping or an original souvenir.

The tenugui is decorated with an image of maneki neko, one of the most recognisable and beloved symbols in Japan. The raised paw of the maneki neko cat invites good fortune and luck. It can often be seen in Japanese shops and restaurants, where it is meant to attract customers and increase profits.
