Bright and cheerful, the Lotus Root Tenugui Hand Towel brings playful energy to your home. Against a vibrant yellow background, the repeating lotus root motif celebrates a vegetable cherished in Japanese cuisine for both its beauty and healthful qualities. The simple design adds a lighthearted accent that brightens any space.

Each towel is hand-dyed by artisans using the traditional Japanese Chusen technique, where color is infused into the cotton so the pattern appears on both sides. This method creates gentle variations that highlight the individuality of handmade work. Made from lightweight yet durable Chita cotton, the fabric absorbs water quickly and dries fast, making it both practical and comfortable for daily use.

Versatile in function, the Lotus Root Tenugui can be used as a hand towel, a casual table runner, or an eco-friendly wrap for bento boxes and gifts. Part of a colorful series of artisan-made tenugui, it brings a joyful touch of Japanese design to everyday life.

Please Note: Pre-washing traditional Japanese hand towels (tenugui) is essential to prevent color bleeding and soften the fabric. To care for your tenugui, hand-wash it in cold water without detergent, rinsing it multiple times if necessary. After washing, air-dry the tenugui in the shade to preserve its vibrant colors. It is also recommended to store the tenugui away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Following these steps will help maintain its beauty and durability over time.

Tenugui

Tenugui is a traditional Japanese hand towel made from soft, lightweight cotton. With a history of over a thousand years, it began as a ritual cloth and became an everyday essential by the Edo period. Used for drying hands, wrapping items, or covering the head, its unfinished edges allow quick drying and easy care. Today, tenugui come in countless colors and designs, loved for their versatility as both practical tools and decorative pieces. Hand-dyed using the chusen technique, each one reflects Japanfs refined craftsmanship and simple beauty that remain timeless.

FAQ

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
