A humorous homage to Hokusai's masterpiece
This original little towel is called北斎豆柴と大波 (Hokusai Mameshiba to Oonami) – “Hokusai Mameshiba and the Great Wave.” It is a playful reinterpretation of Katsushika Hokusai’s world-famous woodblock print “The Great Wave off Kanagawa.” Instead of brave sailors, cute Mameshiba (miniature Shiba Inus) steer traditional boats safely through the roaring, deep blue waves.
As part of the Yumemuri-taoru series, this towel offers the perfect combination of aesthetics and practicality: The front is made of smoothly woven cotton, brilliantly showcasing the detailed nautical design, while the soft terry cloth back ensures excellent absorbency. Its compact size makes it the ideal companion for everyday life, the gym, or your next trip to the beach.
The design comes from HAMAMONYO in Yokohama. Thanks to the traditional Yokohama wet printing technique, the vibrant blue tones remain colorfast and the outlines of the little captains are razor-sharp, giving the towel a particularly high quality and long lifespan.

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).
