Blooms to Butterflies: Spring Tenuguis Have Arrived to Celebrate the Moment!

Spring tenuguis are in full bloom at Tortoise!  These colorful multi-purpose cloths can be enjoyed year-round, but they're especially perfect for springtime activities. Like stylishly wrapping picnic food, elegantly lining your Easter baskets or setting your Seder table.  Even accessorizing them as a lightweight scarf–tenuguis are made for spring!
Among the patterns of flowers and vegetables, we received a particularly playful print called 'Pata-Pata'.  This name refers to the Japanese onomatopoeia for the fluttering of wings: pata pata pata pata.  Watch the abstract butterfly pattern takes flight simply by sliding the included paper sheet over this tenugui and see the butterflies come alive in a whimsical display of "scanimation" that's sure to delight. 
Whether it's wildflowers, cherry blossoms, spring vegetables or picnics, our bountiful harvest of spring tenuguis has something for everyone. See our full selection of 100+ tenugui patterns on our website and of course, in-store!

A box is more than just storage.  In Japanese culture, a box holds the mysteries of human existence and emotion, where we place our dreams and most valuable things. These food-safe and fire-resistant kiri wood organizers were meant for rice, but we found they're perfect for organizing anything you want free of moisture, humidity or fire–from precious family photos to important supplements.  Plus, they stack!
