Tenugui “Sensakura to Tsukiakari” – HAMAMONYO, 100% cotton, made in Japan

Tenugui “Sensakura to Tsukiakari” – Japanese cotton cloth

---

Cherry blossoms in the light of the moon

This tenugui depicts an elegant fan with cherry blossoms (桜, sakura) unfolding. Above, flowering branches float against a deep blue night sky, illuminated by a brilliant full moon (月, tsuki) . The clean lines, harmonious color scheme, and floral motifs give the design a calm, almost classical feel—like a moment from an ancient poem.

The stylized fan at the bottom symbolizes not only elegance, but also festivity and seasonal change. A motif that unites the beauty of spring with the tranquility of the night.

The cloth is manufactured by the long-established family business HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. Thanks to the Yokohama wet -dyeing technique, particularly brilliant and durable prints are created. The cotton fabric used is chlorine-free bleached, soft, and skin-friendly, and was specially developed for tenugui production.

The motif was awarded the “Gold Award” of the OMOTENASHI Selection – a sign of true Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic depth.
