A Tenugui (???) is a Japanese hand made cotton towel.
The size is usually about 35 x 90 cm, plain weave and almost always colored with several patterns.
It can be used for whatever towel can be used for - as a washcloth, napkin, but often as a headband, souvenir, decoration, or to wrap things like bottles. Towels made of terry fabrics have largely been replaced in household use. However tenugui is still popular as a souvenir, decoration, and as a headgear in kendo, where it serves as a sweat band, as an additional pad under the headgear ( male ).
