Over one hundred years of knowledge and technical experience,
combined with innovation and creativity.
Shinto wishes to preserve the traditional production of Senshu towels and wants to create the best. To do that, Shinto utilizes fully historical knowledge and technical expertise and is unafraid of new ideas in technology and design. Shinto is always reviewing materials, functions, and designs in the pursuit of better products.

Superior absorbency, luxurious softness and the feeling of fresh,
new ‘clean’ – thanks to the togarashi process.
A characteristic of the Senshu towel is togarashi – a post-weave refining process. Towels are traditionally woven with starched fibres, as this increases durability, but the starch can repel water and thus affects absorbency. By washing and bleaching after weaving, the starch, oils, and other impurities in the fibre can be removed, allowing better absorbency while preserving its fluffy texture.
