Tenugui (Strawberries)Description Strawberries were first introduced to Japan in the late Edo period, around the 1830s, brought by Dutch traders. At that time, they were even called Oranda Ichigo meaning Dutch strawberries. Hand dyed by skilled artisans, this tenugui combines sweetness and history, adding a cheerful touch to your everyday life. By simply inserting this rod into the top and bottom of a tenugui, you can easily create a tapestry.
