SAKE-KASU Milk Bath + Face Mask
$ 9.00
The life-changing benefits of Sake-Kasu were discovered by accident. Old and wizened sake masters have long been known to have baby-soft and wrinkle free hands. As it turns out, working with koji (an enzyme and amino-acid rich mold used in making sake) helped to inhibit melanin, the main cause of sun spots and freckles.
One of the byproducts of sake production is Sake-Kasu (freeze-dried sake lees) that contains all of the nutrients and leftover koji from the sake making process. This Sake-Kasu Milk Bath + Face Mask contains two bags of Sake-Kasu that can be sprinkled into a bath, made into a paste for a rejuvenating face mask, or even an allergy-fighting hot drink.
This product does not contain alcohol.

Kamawanu Tenugui - Ohgiku
$ 22.00
We are pleased to offer this series of vividly designed and beautifully illustrated tenugui towels. These multipurpose textiles have been used for centuries as handkerchiefs, gift wrap, napkins, and wall art. This collection is dyed using the “chusen” method, which has been practiced since the Meiji period. This method has a characteristic appearance due to the fact that the dye produces different shades of color depending on the weather, temperature, and humidity at the time of dying. These 100% cotton towels are reversible and the pattern appears on both the front and reverse sides.
About Tenugui Towels
A tenugui towel is a thin vibrantly-printed Japanese textile that typically measures 35 cm in width and 90 cm in length. Like furoshiki, it can be used for wrapping gifts, bottles, and other common items. It also makes an absorbent dish towel and washcloth. Tenuguis can also be purposed into table runners, placemats, curtains- the sky’s the limit! They are often given as gifts or souvenirs from travelers in Japan.
Materials: 100% Cotton
Dimensions: 35.5" L x 13" W
Care: Machine wash cold and line dry. With each wash, it is inevitable that the dye will fade and the cloth will soften. This is a unique quality of the chusen dyeing technique. As is normal for tenugui towels, the edges are plainly cut and not hemmed which may fray.

Takada Shuro Scrub Brush - Twist
$ 16.00
Shuro Tawashi are traditional cleaning brushes that are made from the bark of the windmill palm tree, a plant that has grown naturally in the Kishu region of Japan for centuries. This natural and eco-friendly scrubber is domestically produced utilizing native Japanese plants, as opposed to synthetic materials and foreign imports. Because tawashi are made from soft and flexible plant fibers, they are not likely to scratch or damage surfaces.
Shuro Tawashi can be used for washing dishes and ceramics, cleaning vegetables, spot cleaning clothes, and personal exfoliation.
About Takada
Takeda Kozo Shoten was established in 1948 as a processor and manufacturer of windmill palm tree products. The windmill palm tree is a tall, evergreen palm, with bark that is resistant to rotting, rich in elasticity, and highly resistant to water. Since the Edo period, the tree has been an important staple of the Kishu region in Wakayama. Many people cultivate and harvest the tree, and the Kishu-produced bark is so precious and useful that the people who carried it on their back for sale would even run into bandits on the mountain paths who tried to steal their profits. Third generation sales manager Daisuke Takada felt that the people in the region were responsible for remedying the situation. He found a craftsman who understood the old methods, asking for help. After 7 years, the company began selling Shuru Tawashi (windmill palm tree scrubbing brush) using the high quality, domestically sourced palm bark from Kishu.
Materials: SHURO (Trachycarpus fortune), Metal wire

“The Hida Express is a limited express train that runs from Toyoma to Takayama through the Japanese Alps.
