Tenugui
Every month or so, Tortoise has the habit of introducing us to a new area of Japanese design we had no knowledge of previously. Around last Christmas, it was the Mari Ball. This time around they introduce us to "tenugui" or hand-dyed Japanese cloths. To quote:
tenugui, a hand dyed cotton cloth, has always been an essential tool for the Japanese. not only was it used as a wiping tool such as a towel or a handkerchief, it was also used as a bandage or a headwear in the old days . . . today people have found even more ways to use it, from table napkin to tapestry for decorating their homes.
