Wa-taoru "Nagomi Harinezumi"

Cute hedgehog designs for feel-good moments in everyday life

This adorable little towel is called Nagomi Harinezumi – "Relaxed Hedgehog". The name says it all, as the peaceful Harinezumi (hedgehogs) radiate a wonderful tranquility that is often associated with the term Nagomi (harmony/relaxation) in Japanese culture.

The design features little hedgehogs in various adorable poses against a simple white background. Whether sniffing curiously or carrying a small apple, the charming illustrations make this towel a real mood booster. As part of our Wa-taoru series, this towel offers a functional advantage over the classic tenugui: the front, made of smoothly woven cotton, allows the design to shine brilliantly, while the soft terry cloth back ensures excellent absorbency. This makes it the perfect, handy companion for your handbag or office.

The design comes from HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. Thanks to the traditional Yokohama wet printing technique, the colors are particularly long-lasting and the outlines of the little hedgehogs remain razor-sharp, giving the towel a particularly high-quality feel.
