Humorous Cat Design for Bath Lovers

This charming little hand towel is named いい湯だニャ (Ii yu da nya) – which translates to "The water is lovely, Meow." The design transports us to the relaxed world of a traditional Japanese bath (Onsen or Sento): Under a classic red Noren curtain with the character for hot water (湯), various cats enjoy their bath. Whether washing backs, comfortably soaking in the tub, or taking a nap afterward – the illustrations perfectly capture the feeling of well-being on a bath day.

Your Advantages at a Glance

  • Brilliant Front: The smoothly woven cotton side beautifully showcases illustrations, colors, and fine details.
  • Absorbent Back: The soft terry cloth back ensures a pleasant feel and good everyday usability.
  • Compact and Practical: A handy towel for on the go, work, the bathroom, or as a small gift with a Japanese connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes Wa-taoru from classic terry cloth?

The double-sided construction combines a smoothly woven cotton front (showcasing the illustration brilliantly) with an absorbent terry cloth back. Two functions in one towel – aesthetic and practical at the same time.

How do I care for the Wa-taoru?

Machine wash up to 40 °C, without fabric softener (which reduces the absorbency of the terry side). Tumble dry at medium heat.

What is the Wa-taoru intended for?

As an everyday, hand, or guest towel; also ideal for on the go thanks to its compact size. The terry cloth back gently dries hands and face, while the front proudly displays the motif.

Manufactured by HAMAMONYO, in Yokohama since 1948. The careful Japanese craftsmanship ensures a pleasant feel, good absorbency, and everyday quality.

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).
