It is typically about 35 by 90 centimeters in size, plain weaved and is almost always printed with some pattern. It can be used for anything a towel could be used for - as a washcloth, dishcloth, headband, souvenir or decoration. Towels made from terry cloth have replaced many of its use in the household.

- Natori Masatake wrote in the Shoninki shinobi manual, that it could be used as a hachimaki headband, wrapped around the head and face, or as a rope for climbing by tying it together with a sash. In other samurai schools it is kept inside the obi sash. In Natori's school it should be folded up and kept inside a collar even when wearing lightweight summer katabira kimono. According to the Giyoshu military manual, when infiltrating while wearing armor a shinobi should tie a yonshaku-tenugui around the thighs like an outer sash so the armor won't rattle.
