Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten was founded in 1716 in Nara Prefecture as a wholesaler of high-quality hemp fabric called "Nara Sarashi." For over 300 years, successive family heads have continued to create products that fit the lifestyles of their respective eras. Currently, with the vision of "bringing vitality to Japanese crafts," they collaborate with artisans nationwide to deliver practical "lifestyle tools" that add color to modern living.

Among their brand's representative masterpieces are the "Hana Fukin" and "Kayaori Fukin." These dishcloths, created by focusing on the functionality of mosquito net (kaya) fabric, a specialty of Nara, boast excellent absorbency and quick-drying properties. Since multiple layers of fabric are carefully sewn together, they are very durable and long-lasting, becoming softer and more familiar to the hand with each use. In 2008, their design and practicality were highly praised, earning them the Good Design Award's "Gold Award."

The wide variety of cheerful patterns and seasonal designs that make daily chores enjoyable are also a major appeal. Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten's dishcloths, packed with Japanese traditional craftsmanship and the wisdom of our predecessors, are a staple of daily life that can be cherished for a long time, enriching your everyday kitchen and dining table.

The "Hana Fukin" is a long-selling product from Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten, made from Nara's traditional craft "kayaori."

"Kayaori" refers to the coarsely woven thin fabric used for mosquito nets (kaya). Because it is woven to incorporate air, it has a light and soft texture, combined with excellent absorbency and breathability.

It is thin yet durable, absorbs water quickly, and dries easily. The more you wash it, the softer and fluffier it becomes, naturally blending into your daily chores.

Before you know it, you'll always reach for this one. It's a dishcloth that accompanies your daily life.
