Ajisai (Hydrangea)

Hand Towels to be Used for Years to Come Tenugui towels have been a part of Japanese life since the Heian Period. They've been used to dry one’s hands or face, to clean and even wrap. Delicately hand-crafted and dyed by artisans, each tenugui is designed to be used over and over, and will soften and age beautifully as they become part of your home and lifestyle. This design features the ajisai, or hyndrangea, which blooms beautifully in early summer and is a welcome addition to the rainy season in June. The blue and purple shades of hydrangea, which are common in Japan, are a direct result of the country's soil, which tends to be more acidic.
