Crafted with care in Nara, Japan, the last remaining region producing traditional kaya (mosquito net) fabric, this kaya dishcloth is embroidered and printed in Wakayama to bring a touch of Japanese craftsmanship to your daily routine.

The origins of kaya fabric dishcloths trace back to factory workers who repurposed leftover mosquito net fabric, sewing multiple layers together to create practical cloths for personal use. This sustainable approach has since evolved into a beloved household essential.

30 x 30 cm
100% rayon

When new, the fabric is stiff due to starch used in production. However, rinsing with lukewarm or cold water softens it, causing natural shrinkage while enhancing its fluffy, supple texture. The dishcloth is highly absorbent (1.3 times more than cotton), dries quickly, and is exceptionally durable.
