tupera tupera Kaya Weave Cotton Towel {Face Notebook}

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.

Face Notebook : Kao-Note

This playful design features a variety of expressive faces arranged across the entire cloth. Combining Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten's original eyes, noses, and mouths with the imaginative world of Kao Note, the beloved picture book by tupera tupera, the pattern invites endless smiles and discoveries with every glance.

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.
