I actually don't know. Better to ask the artist, Infinity (http://www.kendo-world.com/forum/member.php?u=3397), directly.

Alex is selling the teneguis for $10 AUS. I'm in the process of getting the funds together to send in my order. I was supposed to do that this past week, but I had a financial disaster, which sucked out a large chunk of my finances. I'll be getting a check this week from my insurance company, so maybe I can apply that to the money order I'll send to him.

There was a thread earlier on teneguis and Alex showed some of his that he has done. He also says that they are fully usable, the design doesn't fade or run, and you should be very satisifed with the work.

Good Luck!

I take it that Alex is Infinity?

[ShinKenshi]

Bingo. You might want to check out the multimedia section where Alex has made a few posts.

Anyone got anymore ideas?

[Lloromannic]

Tozando sells some very nice ones through their Wafu Living site, however it seems to be malfunctioning right now since it shows me their tabi.

[Commander]

Thanks Lloromannic, yeah your right, i wonder if they know theres a malfunction?

[Lloromannic]

They should now I sent them an e-mail.
I bought one from them when I bought my bogu at tozando. I had intended to buy it from Bogubag but on the same day I was going to buy it they closed. Some days later there is this offer (http://kendo.tozando.com/bouguset/tzm6.html) from Tozando and my father, being somewhat impatient jumped on it. Can't say I put up muchn resistance however. According to my brother the tenugui I chose was "for poofs" but that's just him.

[Infinity]

There are also tons of specialist tenugui shops in the Asakusa area of Tokyo, near the temple.

The last time I went there I blew my budget and bought something like 15 tenuguis. One of the prize collection was a hand painted sakura tree blossoming, and the other was a hand painted Miyamoto Musashi's self portrait.

They're rocking KML, I'd love to get some like these too!
Damm saving-for-bogu-budget!

[ratdeau]

This tenugui Carpes (http://www.lausannekendo.ch/img/carpes.jpg) is for sale 10 CHF + postal fees.

[kanyil]

Also, if you have a Muji store in town then they might offer some good tenuguis. Nothing too flashy, but quite good quality.

[Commander]

Wow lovely! :D

Kanyil, do you know any websites?

:)

heheh...but my fav. tenugui is lime green from my dojo in the UK. Unfortunately, I can't upload it...

[Commander]

Just found this :D http://www.jun-gifts.com/specialcollections/tenuguitowel/tenuguitowel.htm

[Veren]

There are a few nice ones here: http://japan-cc.com/

Look under "Catalog" and then look for the Tenugui link. (Some of the ones near the bottom are more intricate than the ones near the top of the list.)

Thanks to Crabbi for pointing out this link in an earlier thread.

[Commander]

very cool :D has anyone seen a tenugui with an oni/demon on it?

[Lloromannic]

The WaFu Living site is working now. I got myself two of #55303. Actually I had gotten one for my brother but he has steadfastedly refused to wear it.

Hey Kanyil, the first 2 Links dont work :(

[Andoru]

You should see my totoro tenugui given to me by Kanyi!

By the way, here's a bad picture of my club's tenugui:

Wow, very nice Andrew! :D

[Alidax]

It doesn't really matter for me what is the pattern on my tenugui. It is more important what is written on it or who gave it to me. For example I've got only one hungarian tenugui (almost every kendoka has got the same in Hungary - cool, isn't it?:-) and I wear it only on shiais. Recently I've got one from a hachidan sensei. I will wear it only for grading.

Hmm... I'm a bit emotional, am I?

Hi Veren-San... you just beat me to it!!!

I use the Hokusai Wave Tenugui... it's an image that I've always loved...

Cheers

[piggy]

i wish i had a custom tenugui with my avatar on it. that would be awsome!

[rainmaker]

I got few dragon fly tenugui which is hard to get here in US. I have heard that some kendokas like dragon fly because it can only fly forward...

I've heard that associated with kendo a few times. And each time I think, "don't they just drop the tail and go backwards like a helicopter?"

[Aijin'sNeko]

i know a place that prints shirts etc for you, they could do a tenuigui too right?

[rainmaker]

It is called Hiki waza.. ^ ^;;
