Kayaori Dishcloth Shochikubai

The Nara craft ``Kayaori'' is a thin, open-woven fabric used for mosquito nets that was introduced to Japan during the Nara period and is said to allow wind to pass through but keep mosquitoes out. The dish towel is made of five layers of cotton kaya-woven fabric sewn together and becomes softer the more you use it.

Note:

• Prior to use, ensure thorough washing with water or lukewarm water to remove any glue residue.
• Alternatively, chlorine bleach can be used.
• Please avoid the use of fabric softener.
• Be cautious as the fabric's characteristics make it susceptible to fraying if subjected to strong force.
• Keep in mind that shrinkage may occur during the washing and drying process.
