(3390) Sanja Matsuri 2025 (VI)

Nihon_Arekore_03423_Asakusa_Sanja_Matsuri_2025_Official_tenugui_100_cl

Speaking of tenugui, this the official one produced every year by Asakusa Jinja for the matsuri. The design is always the same and only the color changes and it is made here in Asakusa by one of the area's big workshops. It depicts a part of the main omikoshi, Ichinomiya, together with branches of weeping willow (or shidare yanagi/枝垂れ柳).
