2.5-Ply Gauze Towel
$ 48.00 USD
Shinto took the middle layer of a traditional 20-count, 3-ply gauze, and replaced it with a half-weight weave to create a 2.5-ply gauze towel that feels both lightweight and substantial. Each style features an irregular weave that contributes a uniquely soft texture and a slight variation in dyes that creates an alluring depth of color. The 2.5 Ply towel is generously sized and features a unique “slim towel” sizing that can be used as both a washcloth and an accessory.
About Shinto Towel
Shinto Towel combines over one hundred years of knowledge and technical experience with an eye for innovation and creativity to create premium towels that disrupt the status quo. Their towels are characterized by their superior absorbency, luxurious softness, and a trademark handfeel that’s achieved through atozarashi, a post-weave refining process that removes all traces of starch, oils, and impurities from the fibers and results in an addictingly fluffy texture.
Materials: 100% Organic Cotton
Dimensions:
| Washcloth (S) | 12.99" L x 11.81" W |
| Slim Towel (ST) | 45.28" L x 11.81" W |
| Hand Towel (M) | 39.37" L x 22.83" W |
| Bath Towel (L) | 55.12" L x 34.65" W |
Care: Avoid pulling loose threads and instead snip them carefully with a pair of scissors. Do not use chlorine bleach. Wash with like colors, especially in the beginning. The texture may be affected by different washing machines and/or laundry soaps. Avoid the overuse of fabric softeners as this may damage the fibers and reduce absorbency. Pulling or snapping the towel lengthwise while wet can cause the piles (the loops in the toweling) to stretch, resulting in gaps in the material. Handle wet towels gently. For best results, washed towels should be hung to dry in a shady, well-ventilated area.

Yukine Towel
$ 21.00 USD
The Yukine towel from Shinto features a characteristic “squeaky” feel that comes from their “atozarashi” refining method. This process takes place after the towel has been woven and it is used to remove any remaining starch and impurities from the fabric. While all of Shinto’s towels employ this process, the Yukine towel spends twice as long during this step in order to maximize the natural absorbency of the cotton. By using white cotton for the warp and dyed cotton for the weft, these towels are able to conjure visions of earth, water, or fresh grass peeking out from beneath fallen snow.

Inner Pile Towel
$ 14.00 USD
The Inner Pile towel from Shinto is expertly woven by hand on traditional shuttle looms, a process that takes a considerable amount of care and time. However, it is necessary to create a towel that has two outer layers of baby-soft gauze and an inner layer of highly absorbent cotton pile. The resulting towel is thick and fluffy yet soft and light and perfect for drying off after a rejuvenating bath or a good snuggle when fresh from the dryer.

Kokei Matcha Bowl
$ 40.00 USD
– Sold OutAs tea-making has become an art form over the centuries, so have matcha bowls themselves become works of art. The organic, undulating shape of traditional matcha bowls is designed to create the smooth, frothy consistency beloved by tea enthusiasts. Because of its essential role in the Japanese tea ceremony, a tea bowl is traditionally considered one of the most graceful and treasured items in your home.
Meaning "lake scenery" in Japanese, the Kokei Matcha Bowl features an alluring azure crackle glaze that we think would look especially beautiful holding your favorite ceremonial matcha.
How to Use:
To prepare matcha, pour boiling water into the tea bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add ceremonial-grade matcha using a bamboo ladle. Using a chasen (bamboo whisk), whisk vigorously in an “M” shape until the matcha reaches a creamy froth. Sip directly from bowl.
For best results, use ceremonial-grade matcha, a bamboo ladle, and 80 or 100-tip chansen.
Materials: Clay
Care: Owning a matcha bowl requires thoughtful handling and careful use. Because of their handmade quality, these bowls are not suitable for the microwave or dishwasher, and should be rinsed and dried immediately after use. Be careful not to introduce water that is too hot, as that may encourage glaze cracking.
Dimensions: Height: 3.15" Diameter: 5.12"
