Simply lay it on wet skin and the water is gone; it dries remarkably fast and grows softer and fluffier the more you use it. Once you have tried it, it is hard to go back. Additive-free and formaldehyde-free, it is gentle enough for babies and for sensitive or atopic skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a bath towel or a face towel.

After decades of making bedding, the company set out to create the gentlest possible cloth for the skin, and arrived at cotton gauze finished with \u003cem\u003ewazarashi\u003c\/em\u003e, a traditional Japanese bleaching method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4784\/6735\/files\/kyowazarashi-26-10-34.webp\" alt=\"Traditional wazarashi bleaching of Kyo-Wazarashi cotton gauze\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFour days of slow wazarashi bleaching\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe woven cotton is cooked slowly in special kettles for four days, without stressing the fibers. Because the fibers are never forced, each one keeps its round shape and traps air. The gauze absorbs water the moment it touches it, dries remarkably fast and stays clean and fresh. It is finished without chemical additives and contains zero formaldehyde, so it is safe even for a newborn’s skin and for sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLayers joined only at the edges\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost multi-layer gauze is woven with the layers tacked together at many points. Kyo-Wazarashi weaves each layer as a separate sheet and joins them only at the edges when sewing. With nothing holding the layers together in the middle, more air stays between them, giving an airy, cloud-like softness and even faster drying. Sewing five separate layers this way takes real skill. The gauze grows softer and fluffier with every wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBath towel: 80 × 140 cm (31.5 × 55.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace towel: 35 × 100 cm (13.8 × 39.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% cotton, 5-layer wazarashi gauze (formaldehyde-free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe set of two comes in a gift box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Kyo-Wazarashi Mensha (Kyoto)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash in a laundry net.
