Tenugui “Ohanami Sanpo” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Ohanami Sanpo” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

Spring awakening while walking

This tenugui depicts a serene spring stroll under a sky full of blooming cherry blossoms (桜, sakura) . Two cats leisurely cross a delicate bridge while pink and white blossoms fall in elegant cascades from above. The motif captures the mood of a quiet afternoon during the Ohanami season —the Japanese tradition of enjoying the beauty of the cherry blossoms.

It is manufactured by the traditional family business HAMAMONYO in Yokohama – a specialist in the Yokohama wet dyeing technique with over 75 years of experience. The cotton fabric used is chlorine-free bleached, pleasantly soft, skin-friendly, and was specially developed for tenugui production.

The gentle color transitions from light blue to rich indigo blue lend the design depth and lightness. This playful yet stylish scene elegantly expresses the joy of spring.

Whether as a towel, gift wrapping (furoshiki), headband, table runner or wall decoration: This tenugui is versatile, easy to care for and an authentic piece of Japanese craftsmanship.

The motif was awarded the “Gold Award” by the OMOTENASHI Selection – a recognition of Japanese hospitality, craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
