98 kr

This exquisite kaya-ori dishcloth features a delightful combination of traditional Japanese patterns, hand-painted with a brush and arranged in hexagonal and diamond shapes. Our skilled artisans have ensured that the unique qualities of brushwork, such as subtle blurs, fades, and delicate imperfections, are preserved in the printing process.

Kaya-ori, a revered craft from Nara, has been cherished since before the Nara period. This coarse, lightweight fabric was originally used in mosquito nets (kaya) that allow air to circulate while keeping insects out. 

Crafted from five layers of cotton kaya-ori, this dishcloth becomes softer with each use, offering exceptional absorbency and durability. It's perfect for drying dishes, wiping tables, or personal use. Ideal for small gifts or thoughtful gestures, it adds a touch of elegance to any occasion!

Versatile Uses:
Perfect as a dishcloth or an elegant table napkin, Kaya-ori elevates your kitchen and dining experience, all while celebrating the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.

Care Instructions:
To preserve the quality of the fabric, wash thoroughly in cold or lukewarm water to remove any starch before first use. Embrace the perfect blend of tradition and style!
