For dirt prevention and correction. Kimono beauty should use towels!
If you are wearing a kimono, there are items that are useful to carry. One of them is “hand towel”. Introducing dressing, various usage methods on the go, and recommended shops handling towels.
Protect kimono from spilling …
Since Kimono kimono is difficult to clean at home, you should be careful not to get it dirty.
The most common cause of dirty kimono is spilled food.To prevent it, use hand towels and handkerchiefs well
To use it, simply spread your hand towel and put it between a belt or fold.
Of course, handkerchiefs can be substituted, but large towels are useful for covering larger surfaces.
Convenient item to stop washcloths “Nafkin clip”
There is also an item called “Nafkin Clip” to hold the napkin.
A clip is attached to both ends of the string or chain, and the towel can be lowered from the neck like an apron.A sense of stability will be better than sandwiching between bands.
The chain has a variety of designs ranging from cute beads with beads and adult-like braids.You can buy them at Japanese accessory shops and online shops.
Use for dressing correction and band loosening
It is convenient to have one for dressing correction.If you want to make a slight correction, you can use a thin towel.If you have a delicate chest, you can show it as a gentle pigeon chest if you use it against the decollete.
Also, the band gradually loosens on the go.If you can’t tie it right away, put a washcloth between the kimono and the belt to create a loose cover.Kimono beginners should keep it in a single bag!
You can also use a towel as a half-collar … !
Some people say that if they have a cute design, they will use it half way.
Since it is 20cm wide and 1m long, it can be used as a semi-container.Recently, there are lots of cute designs in the 100-yen shop, as well as in the specialty towel store.It’s easy to wash and it’s also easy to use!
Recommended shops where you can buy cute towels
The number of cute designs is increasing, the number of users who use hand towels is increasing, and there are many specialty stores.Here are some of my favorite shops.
Nijiyura
The brand is characterized by dyeing patterns using a Japanese traditional technique called “chusen”.Manufactured in Sakai City, Osaka, the shop is mainly in Kansai, but there is also a web shop.
Because it is dyed by hand, the color overlaps and shades are tasteful and warm.The design of the pattern is by young artists.A wide lineup from Scandinavian styles to unique ones that make you laugh.
Kamawanu
This is also a brand that has a pattern with “dyeing”.There are many shops in the Kanto area, but there are many shops in the web shop and general stores nationwide.
Characteristics include many classic patterns such as cloisonne and omenami.Unique to the Edo / Tokyo brand is the “smart” design that has been passed down since the Edo period.
Many colors are cool and strong, and it seems to be preferred by men and foreigners.
Samurai pattern
Samurai is a brand from Yokohama.It uses a technique called “printing”, which is a kind of printing, and can express even fine patterns.There are many directly managed stores, which can be purchased at sales and web shops.
In contrast to the special dyeing of “smudge” in color, textile printing can be used more clearly because there is no blur, so there are many fine and vivid designs that take advantage of it.
It is very convenient to have one hand-washing towel that has many uses, such as preventing spilled foods and correcting dressing!
There are lots of cute designs, so why not find one that you always want to carry around? Your kimono life will be more fun and comfortable
