Inner Pile: The Best of Both Worlds—Gauze and Pile

SHINTO TOWEL: The Ultimate Evolution of Senshu Craftsmanship

SHINTO TOWEL represents the pinnacle of tradition from Shinto Towel Co., Ltd., a long-established manufacturer that has perfected the soft, highly absorbent Senshu Towel for over 110 years.

By blending century-old techniques with modern design, they created their signature brand, SHINTO TOWEL, characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and stylish woven tags.

The "Inner Pile" series is the undisputed fan favorite. While it possesses the clean, understated look of a classic gauze towel, you will be surprised by its unexpected volume and plushness the moment you touch it.

A Fusion of Two Textures

The secret to its unique feel lies in its specialized construction. While the exterior surfaces are made of smooth, traditional gauze, a layer of loopy pile is sandwiched in between during the weaving process.

This design captures the lightweight softness of gauze and the airy volume of pile in a single fabric. The result is a texture so comforting you’ll instinctively want to press it against your cheek.

A Miracle of Vintage Machinery and Artisan Skill

Inner Pile is crafted using shuttle looms dating back to 1982. Though these are the oldest and most analog machines at Shinto Towel, they allow for the delicate, manual adjustments that modern high-speed machines simply cannot replicate.

It is a "miracle towel" that can only be produced here, born from the perfect synergy between vintage machinery and the intuition of master craftsmen.

Experience the Comfort in Every Scene

To truly appreciate the Inner Pile texture, we recommend looking beyond the bathroom. Its versatility makes it perfect for various lifestyle uses:

• As a Pillow Cover: Experience the gentle touch against your skin all night long.

• As a Blanket: Wrap yourself in its lightweight warmth during a nap.

Whether it’s for your face or your body, the more you use it, the more you’ll appreciate the thoughtful craftsmanship behind every thread.
