Description

This beautifully dyed tenugui captures a serene early summer evening, with a hotaru-kago (firefly basket) hanging from the edge of a traditional wooden porch.
In the past, these delicate straw-woven baskets were used in rural Japan to gently hold fireflies, admired for their soft, flickering glow.
Children would craft their own baskets, gathering these tiny lights on quiet early summer nights and watching them shimmer through the weave.
This design evokes the quiet magic of those nostalgic moments—ephemeral, gentle, and filled with the light of early summer.

 

By simply inserting this rod into the top and bottom of a tenugui, you can easily create a tapestry.
  • approx. L90 cm x W37 cm
  • 100% Cotton
  • Made in Japan
  • Wash separately from other clothing by hand for the first few washes, as this is a hand-dyed product.
  • Avoid using bleach or detergent containing bleach.
  • After washing, allow it to dry completely.
  • When fraying occurs, trim the loose horizontal threads, leaving about 5mm of the vertical fringe. Repeat this process several times until the fraying stops.

Please refer to "How to care about your Tenugui"
