Lucky Cat Tenugui Towel
Why We Love It
A cheerful maneki-neko—Japan’s iconic “beckoning cat”—raises its paw to welcome good customers and invite good fortune. Traditionally displayed in storefronts atop a cushion, this spotted feline can face either direction because the cloth has no front or back, letting you choose which paw does the beckoning.
Hand-stenciled in Tokyo with the traditional chūsen dyeing method onto 100 % cotton, this 15” x 35” (37cm × 90cm) tenugui softens with every wash, ready to brighten your day as a towel, eco-wrap, or striking wall art.
How to Use Your Tenugui Towel
Lightweight, absorbent, and fast-drying, tenugui are the original do-everything cloth:
- Décor: frame it or display with a Japanese cypress hanger for instant art
- Daily essentials: hand towel, washcloth, headscarf, or sweat wipe on hot days
- Home & kitchen: tea towel, table runner, dish dryer, or reusable book cover
- Travel companions: compact beach towel, picnic napkin, or sustainable gift wrap
Why Choose Tenugui from Rienzome?
Founded in 1874, Rienzome specializes in hand-stenciled tenugui featuring masterpieces by artists like Hokusai and Hiroshige. Premium cotton, vibrant two-sided chusen dyeing, and a slightly wider cut give each cloth rich color that ages beautifully—ready for everyday use or elegant display.
