Everyone loves Mt. Fuji, the symbol of Japan!

A tissue case with a pattern of Mt. Fuji, which was designed on the occasion that Mt. Fuji was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.

 This item comes in two colors, red Fuji and fresh blue. When you take out tissues, it looks like pure white snow on the top of Mt. Fuji.

The design that you can finish up to the top of the mountain when you take out tissues is also stylish.

8. Tenugui “DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT!”  | かまわぬ てぬぐい

 

1 for 800 yen ~

In addition, it is worn on the head for the purpose of protection from cold and heat or dust, or as an accessory at rites and festivals.

It is fun to have a variety of patterns from Edo classic to modern.

Japanese tenugui was a daily necessity in the Edo and Meiji periods.

It is being reconsidered in modern life, and it is popular as a wrapping and a gift both in Japan and abroad because it is thin, not bulky, and has various colors and designs.

The price is reasonable, so you can buy several of them in different patterns.

 

Review

・    There are various patterns. 

There were many pictures that showed Japan such as sushi, kanji, and ninja.

Like Furoshiki, I think this Tenugui is fashionable if you put it in your forehead and make it a wall hanging.

I think there are foreigners who use it that way.

The design is so attractive that you can decorate it as an art, and it is a waste to use it like a dishcloth.

 

・Very attractive.

If there are so many kinds, you can buy them in bulk and have them choose.

It is appreciated to tell the meaning and origin of each of them, but sushi toppings and Kanji of fish have an impact just by looking at them.
