Japanese-made mosquito net muslin dishcloths are perfect as small tokens and gifts to express gratitude and feelings just to say "Thank you," "Till next time," or " Nice to meet you." Simple, premium textile quality, wrapped in elegant, traditional Japanese mizuhiki paper cord designs.
Kaya muslin fabric becomes soft and gentle with moisture, making it ideal for mopping up small spills and wiping surfaces. Inner layers of natural-fibre rayon make each one extra absorbent — a great alternative to paper towels. Easy to wash and quick to dry, a total of seven layers of fabric are sewn together for each cloth.
Three colours of stitching wrapped with four delicate mizuhiki knot designs.
Blue Fuji
In Japanese, the name Fuji echoes the word “fushi”, meaning "immortal." For its majestic, towering form, Mount Fuji is a cherished symbol of all that is sacred and revered.
Yellow Butterfly
Butterflies are treasured not only for their beauty, but for their journeys — passing through stages of change to take its final beautiful form. In Japan, this transformation symbolises rebirth and renewal, carrying meanings of longevity and eternal life.
NB: The butterfly also carries a connotation of fickleness, and is traditionally considered unsuitable for wedding gifts.
Orange Plum Blossom
Said to bloom most beautifully in times when learning and scholarship flourish, the plum blossom is one of the first flowers to bloom in the cold of winter. It has come to symbolise vitality and good fortune in Japan.
