Charming owl motifs for a touch of everyday happiness
This lovingly designed little towel bears the name福ふくろう (Fuku Fukurou) – “Lucky Owl”. In Japan, owls are not only considered symbols of wisdom, but also, through an onomatopoeic wordplay ( fuku for luck), powerful bringers of good fortune that are said to protect against hardship.
The design features a colorful flock of stylized owls in various colors such as red, gray, and purple, playfully scattered across a white background. As part of the Wa-taoru series, this towel offers a functional advantage over the classic tenugui: the reverse side is made of soft, absorbent terry cloth, while the front, crafted from finely woven cotton, perfectly showcases the detailed pattern.
The design comes from HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. Thanks to the traditional Yokohama wet printing technique, the colors remain colorfast and the contours of the little owls are razor-sharp, making the towel a high-quality and useful everyday companion.

Care and instructions
- Wash:Washable up to 40 °C.
- Recommendation:A laundry net is ideal! It prevents zippers or buttons on other garments from pulling threads out of the terry cloth side ("thread puller").
- Dry:Do not tumble dry. The heat could cause the two different layers of fabric to shrink unevenly, resulting in the cloth becoming misshapen. Simply pull it into shape and hang it up.
- Thread puller:Should a terry cloth loop come loose: Do not pull on it! Simply cut the protruding thread short with scissors. Since it is a woven loop, this will not create a hole.
- Softener:Use sparingly or not at all, as it reduces the absorbency of the terry cloth ("gliding effect" instead of drying).
