tupera tupera Kaya Weave Cotton Towel {Fruit Friends}

A playful addition to the Kaya-weave cotton gauze towel collection, featuring cheerful designs by the beloved picture-book duo tupera tupera. Created in collaboration between tupera tupera—known for their colorful and imaginative children's books—and Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten, these fun kaya-weave cloths are designed to be enjoyed by both children and adults in everyday life. Their bright colors and humorous illustrations bring a touch of joy to daily routines. This beautifully made towel features kaya-ori — a traditional open-weave fabric from Nara, originally used for mosquito nets since before the Nara period (710–794). Made from five layers of cotton kaya fabric, they become softer with use, are highly absorbent, and durable for long-term use. Perfect for drying dishes, wiping tables, drying hands, and other everyday household tasks, they also make a thoughtful small gift or token of appreciation. Fruit Friends : Kudamono-san This design features a colorful assortment of fruits, each with its own playful and expressive face. Their charming and humorous personalities are sure to bring a smile, making this a delightful cloth for both children and adults to enjoy together.

Please Note Due to the nature of the kaya-weave fabric, printed designs may occasionally appear slightly angled on the cloth. For the "Kao Note" design in particular, variations between individual pieces may be more noticeable than with other patterns. This is a characteristic of the design and fabric and is not considered a defect. SEE ALL KAYA KITCHEN CLOTHS-->
