Tenugui “Waiwai Panda”

A lively table tennis match among pandas

This tenugui depicts a humorous and energetic scene: a group of pandas engaged in a heated table tennis match. The Japanese term "waiwai" (ワイワイ) represents cheerful chatter and lively activity – and that's exactly what this design radiates. From the focused players at the blue table to the cheering fans in the stands, this motif is full of wit and charm.

It is manufactured by the long-established family company HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. The cotton fabric used is chlorine-free bleached, soft, skin-friendly, and was specially developed for the production of the Tenugui.

The colors combine the vibrant blue of the ping-pong table with warm beige tones and the classic black and white of the pandas. A design that perfectly unites sportiness, fun, and Japanese "kawaii" culture.

Whether as a towel, gift wrapping (Furoshiki), headband, table runner or decoration: This Tenugui is versatile, easy to care for and a piece of high-quality Japanese craftsmanship.

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