Summer Tenugui Towels: Fireworks, Fireflies, and Yōkai Monsters

Host

The Japan Foundation, Toronto

Summer must be the most active season for Tenugui towels. In order to survive through the extreme heat and humidity of summer in Japan, all kinds of customs, culture, and rituals have been created and developed. Tenugui towels were one of the tools to cope with summer in a practical way.
