"The Last Kitchen Towel You Will Ever Buy"
Japanese Craftsmanship Delivered Straight to Your Home
Japanese culture celebrates beauty in the natural.
It honors finding plenty in the "less".
Depth in simplicity.
For hundreds of years, Nara has been the center of crafting innovation and beauty in Japan.
Especially with fabrics.
So it should come as no surprise that one of the most durable, functional - and beautiful - cloths is crafted in Nara.
The fabric is a coarse mesh. Usually a blend of Cotton, Ramie and Rayon.
This texture ensures each cloth is durable, absorbent, odor-resistant and soft to touch.
These cloths are almost indestructible.
They will keep both your surfaces and skin clean for years to come.

You read that right, charcoal.
Our Binchotan Kitchen Cloth has Japanese charcoal fibers woven into the fabric.
This enhances the cloth's odor resisting and deep cleaning capabilities.
If you're looking for something "extra" to bring out more life in your kitchen, this is it.
"Kyo-Yuzen"
We dye our cloths with an ancient Japanese fabric dyeing technique called "Kyo-Yuzen".
This is the secret to keeping our beautiful designs from wearing out or fading away.
Even over long periods of time.
We are always expanding our design catalog.
“I love how absorbent this towel is - it pulls in and holds water quite efficiently, wrings out easily, and dries fast.
This towel doesn't leave lint behind, and it's much better at absorbing than my other cotton dish towels.”

“This Japanese kitchen towel is adorable and works just as well as they claim.”
- Jill [Verified]
"It is made out of mesh and it cleans and dry things very well.
It is easy to wash and is quite big. But not too big that it is hard to handle. I have recommended it to others and they loved it."
- Ora [Verified]

Design
We finally reached the Japanese representative dyeing “Kyo Yuzen” by pursuing the dignity and splendid color through imagining designs one by one, drawing, and dyeing. Although it was very difficult to dye “Kyo Yuzen” on our rough and thin weave fabric which is different from silk weave fabric used for Kimono, we can express our ideal designs with the careful handwork that is made by the professionals who have high skills and experiences in the end. There are some designs such as “THE BEAUTY OF JAPAN series” which is expressively dyed Kacho Fugetsu, “Kawaii series” which is full of prettiness, “World Story series” which express some scenes stay in people’ s minds.

Craftmanship
The needs of society are being changed with the world
keeps changing constantly and time goes on. There are
some processes of making our products that should be
done manually in this mass production by machines era.
There are some companies which put priority on profits
when they develop new things though we do not take it for granted. We try to give the first priority to the high quality when we consider the new models.
