It is around Kamakura era that Tenugui are said to have begun spreading in the Japanese. Since then, tenugui had been integrated into the Japanese lives as a cool fashion item like Yukata, a cotton kimono for summer. As the downtown area of Edo was covered with a lot of sandy dust, people are said to have worn tenugui as hats or scarves and competed for their fashionable patterns. The remnants of tenugui are without being hemmed, because they were cut and sold depending on the purpose. Typically, it is made of cotton, whose size is about 33inches long by 13inches wide. The ends are without being hemmed, this allows the cloth to dry much faster, not to get dusty, and protects its turned edges from dirt. These benefits made sense in humid country of Japan. In addition, when tear up to use as a bandage, it is convenient that not sewed. (The fray of their edges stops at about 0.2 or 0.3 inches.)

Frays really badly after just a few uses
I've used it as a head scarf a handful of times and it is fraying like crazy. I fear not much of it will remain after long :(

I like the sufficient size and quality.
Fast delivery. I like it that it gives you a bonus tiny piece of square cut to fold origami paper swan. The fringe is raw edge so it does fray to a point. Made from flax it's sturdy, the size is big enough, patterns are like the photo mentioned.

It would be 4-5 stars if it wouldn’t fray at the ends
I like the pattern but the frayed ends definitely left me dissatisfied
