This Nuno Sento* Tenugui towel is a beautiful Japanese cotton towel that captures the nostalgic charm of traditional bathhouses. Whether used as a tea towel, worn as a lightweight scarf, or displayed as a wall hanging, it brings a touch of Japanese evening magic into your everyday life.

Made from 100% lightweight, quick-drying cotton, it measures 33x100 cm and features a detailed illustration of a classic Japanese sento – complete with a tall chimney, noren curtain entrance, and japanese mail box – all set against a deep orange sunset sky. The scene feels like a moment from a Studio Ghibli film, evoking the peaceful, otherworldly atmosphere of Spirited Away.

Pre-washed in Japanese spring water, this tenugui is not only practical but also a wonderful gift for Ghibli fans, design lovers, and anyone who appreciates the quiet poetry of everyday Japan.

*Sento are traditional public bathhouses in Japan, often nestled in residential neighborhoods. They’re places of relaxation, community, and ritual – and have inspired countless stories, films, and memories.
