Japanese Washi Gift Wrapping Papers - 12 Sheets: 18 x 24 inch (45 x 61 cm) Wrapping Paper

Tenugui are traditional Japanese thin cotton towels that have been used since 300 AD-- basically since forever. They dry quickly, come in an incredible array of designs, and are highly versatile. They were used by samurai to absorb sweat underneath their heavy kabutos (head armor) or to wrap their sharp katanas. They quickly then spread to become fashion pieces, from head wraps to Kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers making their original designs to hand out in lieu of business cards.
