Kayagofukin are made of mosquito net cloth carefully woven in Nara Prefecture, the only remaining mosquito net production area in Japan, and embroidered and printed in Wakayama Prefecture.
At first, the cloth is stiff and taut because of the glue, but when the glue is removed with lukewarm water or hot water, the cloth shrinks surprisingly.
The result is a soft, fluffy, and supple texture. It also has excellent water absorbency (1.3 times that of cotton), dries quickly, and is durable.
You will want to have a lot of washcloths to replace the ones you have. It will surely make a great gift.
