Introducing a New Brand of Tengu Handkerchiefs: Tenu... at MONTAGE 35th

A Fresh Take on Traditional Craftsmanship: Tenu Handkerchiefs

Kadono Sarashi Some Co., Ltd., a longstanding wa-sarashi manufacturer based in Sakai, Japan, has recently unveiled its latest brand of tengu handkerchiefs, named "tenu...". With over 90 years of experience in the industry, the company is poised to present this innovative product at the upcoming MONTAGE 35th exhibition from February 4 to 6, 2026, where it will showcase the distinctive qualities of its new offering.

What Makes Tenu Special?

The name “tenu...” cleverly derives from the word "tenugui," which refers to a traditional Japanese hand towel. Here are some defining characteristics of the Tenu handkerchiefs:

1. Convenient Size: The handkerchief features an optimal 4:3 aspect ratio, allowing easy storage in pockets without taking too much space. It is designed to be lightweight and thin while ensuring high absorbency, making it a stylish and practical accessory.

2. Superior Absorbency and Quick Drying: Thanks to the thick threads and large weave patterns, Tenu handkerchiefs are incredibly absorbent, allowing users to quickly dry their hands or wipe sweat off their foreheads. The quick-drying properties prevent moisture buildup, keeping pockets fresh.

3. Unisex Design: The designs of Tenu handkerchiefs incorporate unique patterns inspired by Japanese vernaculars, appealing to a wide audience. They boast hemmed edges to eliminate the risk of fraying, ensuring durability through repeated washes.

4. Sustainable Production: As a factory brand, Kadono Sarashi Some Co., Ltd. emphasizes sustainability throughout its production process—from weaving and dyeing to cutting. The pigments used in production are water- and energy-efficient, contributing to an eco-friendly approach in textile manufacturing.
