Sleeping cats as cute everyday companions
This oddly shaped little towel is called Gomen-ne Neko – which means "sorry sleeping cat". The name humorously refers to the typical, almost apologetic sleeping position of cats, in which they bury their faces deep in their paws.
The design features various cats in cozy nap poses in soft shades of gray and beige against a simple white background, complemented by a small, pink paw print. As part of our Wa-taoru series, this towel offers a noticeable functional advantage over the classic tenugui: the front, made of smoothly woven cotton, allows the delicate illustrations to shine brilliantly, while the soft terry cloth backing ensures excellent absorbency.
The design comes from HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. Thanks to the traditional Yokohama wet printing technique, the colors are particularly long-lasting and the contours of the sleeping cats remain razor-sharp, giving the towel a particularly high-quality look.

Care and instructions
- Wash:Washable up to 40 °C.
- Recommendation:A laundry net is ideal! It prevents zippers or buttons on other garments from pulling threads out of the terry cloth side ("thread puller").
- Dry:Do not tumble dry. The heat could cause the two different layers of fabric to shrink unevenly, resulting in the cloth becoming misshapen. Simply pull it into shape and hang it up.
- Thread puller:Should a terry cloth loop come loose: Do not pull on it! Simply cut the protruding thread short with scissors. Since it is a woven loop, this will not create a hole.
- Softener:Use sparingly or not at all, as it reduces the absorbency of the terry cloth ("gliding effect" instead of drying).
