These are the towels from the Imbari region of Japan, famed for its cotton toweling of exceptional softness and unparalleled absorbency. Hand-picked cotton fibers are massaged and combed twice before being gently twisted into threads called “Shankar 6;” the threads are then woven on traditional looms employing closely guarded techniques that date back more than two centuries. The resulting towel is soft, lightweight, and compact, with a smooth texture that soaks up water in seconds and dries quickly. Ideal for travel as well as daily use in the home. White. Imported.
