【Kaya (Mosquito Netting)】
---Kaya is the name of a loosely woven fabric. It was originally used as an insect repellent cloth, hence the character for "mosquito" (蚊) is included.
BAN INOUE's commitment is to 100% cotton, vibrantly colored kaya.
【Characteristics of Kaya fabric】
---Kaya was originally hung as a mosquito repellent when sleeping.
It is a coarse-weave, well-ventilated fabric.
It is woven with wide spaces between threads to allow air to pass through, making it very light and flexible.
However, as a woven fabric, it has no elasticity.
【The Appeal of Kaya Fabric】
---When the "sizing" used during weaving washes off, the individual fibers of each thread spread out, bringing out the inherent softness of cotton.
Also, as the fine fibers intertwine, it becomes even more skin-friendly, transforming into a soft, light, and airy material.
It can be safely used by those with sensitive skin and children. 
Absorbent, Quick-Drying, Breathable
Kaya is excellent in absorbency, quick-drying properties, and breathability. Therefore, it quickly absorbs moisture, dries fast, and is hygienic as it is less prone to unpleasant odors. 
Safe Natural Material 100% Cotton
To bring out the softness of kaya, only 100% cotton is used, without chemical fibers. All manufacturing is also done in Japan. 
The simple and natural packaging design makes it perfect for gifts. It is also recommended for party favors, housewarming gifts, or New Year's gifts.

| Care Instructions | Since new cloths are starched, please wash them in cold or lukewarm water before first use. They will shrink when washed, but will become softer and more familiar with repeated washing. Enjoy the unique texture of mosquito net fabric. Do not use bleach. Due to the natural fibers, some color fading may occur. |
| Remarks | ※Black or brown specks may be noticeable on the surface of organic mosquito net fabric. These are plant fragments from the cotton bolls, and are characteristic of organic cotton that has not undergone chemical treatments such as bleaching. Please be assured that they are not mold or foreign matter. ※Due to the coarse weave of mosquito net fabric, the fabric may shrink during the post-sewing product washing process, resulting in individual variations of about 3-4cm from the stated size upon delivery. ※Please be careful of snagging the surface during use. |
