Tenugui - book "Mameshiba-kun no Koto"

An interactive fabric book for dog lovers

This playful tenugui is called豆柴くんのこと (Mameshiba-kun no Koto) – “All About the Little Mameshiba”. It depicts the charming portrait and world of a Mameshiba (豆柴) , the popular miniature version of the Japanese Shiba Inu.

The design captivates with its clean aesthetic against a deep navy blue background, creating a striking contrast with the warm brown and white of the Shiba Inu (柴犬) . What makes this product special is its "Tenugui book" format: a unique binding allows it to be leafed through like a real book, telling a short story before it unfolds completely to be used as a classic Tenugui towel. It perfectly captures the lively and loyal character of this special breed of dog.

Your advantages at a glance:
  • Lightweight and quick-drying: The traditional cotton towel is pleasant for everyday use and dries significantly faster than classic towels.
  • Versatile use: As a companion for on the go, a decorative accent with our wooden magnetic strips or as a special gift with a Japanese theme.
  • Authentic from Japan: An original Tenugui from HAMAMONYO in Yokohama with clear details and traditional craftsmanship.

Manufactured by HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. The traditional Yokohama wet printing technique ensures clear contours, fine details, and vibrant colors.

Note on authenticity: As is typical with traditional tenugui, the short sides are unhemmed . This allows the cloth to dry faster. Slight fraying at first is normal; any excess threads can be carefully trimmed. The edge will stabilize itself after the first few washes.
