What is an Ugui?
An ugui (手巾) is a small Japanese hand towel traditionally used for wiping oneself after bathing or during tea ceremonies. They are often made of soft, absorbent materials like cotton or linen and are considered a symbol of cleanliness and hospitality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenugui (While tenugui are similar,ugui are specifically smaller hand towels.)
