Silk Body Towel

This excellent body towel is made in Gunma Prefecture using a combination of cotton and locally made high-quality silk from one of the last remaining silk mills in Japan. The towel is made without using any chemicals and therefore retains the silk’s natural sericin content. Sericin is a protein rich in amino acids such as serin, which is known for its antimicrobial, moisturizing and antioxidant effects. These properties allow the towel to remove excess oils and retain moisture without becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, while the cotton threads lend it extra softness.

Rinse of any dirt or soap after use, squeeze then leave to dry.
Hand washing recommended.
Do not tumble dry.

Kantō

The Kantō region is densely populated and home to a third of the country's population. It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
