FUWARA

Fuwara items are made by Nakamori Gauze in Mikawa in Aichi Prefecture, the birthplace of Japan’s cotton textile industry, and are woven using techniques that date back to the Edo Period. Their outer layers are finely woven gauze, the inner ones of a thicker, airy weave. Every item is pre-washed in mineral water derived from nearby Mount Ishizuchi to ensure softness. They may shrink and rumple a little with washing, but that just adds to their beauty as they become even fluffier and cosier with use.
