| TENUGUI is often introduced to tools as hand towel, but actually TENUGUI
is not only hand towel but is tools that have various uses. For example,
wrap things, roll own head up when they take part in festival... It is TENUGUI that not to sew up an edge tightly, but it would not become loose if you would wash it well. |
It's desperate measure by persecuted Japanese Christians
From Toyotomi regime to Tokugawa shogunate (1590 - 1874), believing Christianity was prohibited. Old Japanese Christian is called "Kirishitan". Due to the regulations, Japanese Christian had camouflaged to believe.
Though it's Fudoh Myo-Oh of Buddhism image and the Sanskrit outwardly, this Sanskrit has no meaning. In fact, it was letting 'J' of Jesus be Sanskrit-like and it was blended to Fudoh.
This item is Tokyotrad's Original Item!!
It's O.K. that you think as one of old art design. This item is not related with religious activities.
You can arrange it to tapestry or into frame. Of course, you can use this as Tenugui (hand towel).
