This is a tenugui (Japanese hand towel) featuring an illustration of "Bary-san." It's folded into four pages, resembling a booklet. It seems you need to remove the basting thread when using it as a hand towel. I purchased this about 10 years ago and have only opened it to look at it, never actually using it. It has been stored away. Please note that there are fold creases from storage. Also, please be aware that the edges of the fabric are not hemmed, so there is some fraying. The print appears to be unfaded. Thank you for looking.
