BAN INOUE
Kaya Organic Face Towel
A face towel made from 100% organic cotton mosquito netting.
Due to the coarse weave of mosquito netting, with large gaps between threads, it absorbs moisture well, dries quickly, and is resistant to unpleasant odors. With each wash, it becomes softer and fluffier.
Mosquito netting is excellent in absorbency, quick-drying properties, and breathability. It quickly absorbs moisture, dries fast, is resistant to unpleasant odors, and is hygienic.
By eliminating the sewn-in tag, it is gentler on the skin.
【Kaya (Mosquito Netting)】
---Kaya (蚊帳) is the name of a coarsely woven fabric. The kanji for "mosquito" (蚊) is included because it was originally used as an insect repellent cloth.
BAN INOUE's focus is on colorful mosquito netting made from 100% cotton.
【Characteristics of Kaya Fabric】
---Originally, mosquito netting was hung to keep mosquitoes away while sleeping.
It is a coarsely woven, airy fabric.
It is woven using a method that creates large gaps between threads for air circulation, making it very light and flexible.
However, as a woven fabric, it has no stretch.
【The Charm of Kaya Fabric】
---When the "sizing" used during weaving washes off, the fibers of each individual thread expand, bringing out the natural softness of cotton.
Furthermore, as the fine fibers intertwine, the material becomes even more skin-friendly, soft, and airy.
It can be used with peace of mind by those with sensitive skin and children.
Absorbent, Quick-Drying, Breathable
Kaya is excellent in absorbency, quick-drying properties, and breathability. It quickly absorbs moisture, dries fast, is resistant to unpleasant odors, and is hygienic.
Safe Natural Material, 100% Cotton
To bring out the softness of kaya, no chemical fibers are used; it is made from 100% cotton. All manufacturing is also done in Japan.
COLOR
Ecru (Kinari)
A gentle, natural color of organic cotton, undyed.

These are plant fragments from the raw cotton and are characteristic of organic cotton that has not undergone chemical treatments such as bleaching.

This "warabi basket" is woven from thin strips of moso bamboo from Ibaraki Prefecture.
As its name suggests, it is a tool born out of daily life, traditionally used for harvesting wild vegetables and mushrooms. Every step of its creation is done carefully by hand.
The bottom is square for stability, and the body has a beautiful curve for easy handling. The handles are woven from the bottom up so that heavy items can be carried. Subtle工夫 have been made, such as making the handle thicker where it is held for easier carrying.
Since natural materials are used, the color of the bamboo may vary, but it will turn into a beautiful golden color over time.
Please note that black spots may be seen on the surface of the bamboo, but these are not mold. Also, the appearance will differ depending on the part of the bamboo used, but please understand this as a characteristic of natural materials.
Even baskets of the same size may vary slightly in size depending on the weaver. We list the average size. Please understand.
The handle has been improved by tying two bamboo strips together for even easier carrying.
Please understand that the design may vary slightly depending on the time of arrival and the artisan. Please appreciate this as the charm of handmade items made from natural materials.
