Tenugui Towel - Plovers in the Mist

This striking tenugui is printed with kasumi ni chidori (霞に千鳥 - Plovers in the Mist): a decorative motif dating back at least a thousand years. The flock of plovers flying low across the waves, an image associated with winter, contrasts with spring feeling of mist hanging high in the sky. Combining the two accentuates the vast difference between the two seasons while also harmonizing them.
