A dreamy cat motif amidst large cherry blossoms
This enchanting small towel is named 大桜と夢恋ねこ (Oosakura and Yumekoi Neko) – “Large Cherry Blossoms and the Cat in Love in a Dream”. The design captures a poetic night scene: The silhouette of a white cat sits contemplatively under a magnificent, yellow full moon, surrounded by large, brightly pink and delicate Sakura blossoms that gently float across the light background.

Frequently Asked Questions
▸ What distinguishes Wa-taoru from classic terry cloth?
The double-sided construction combines a smoothly woven cotton front (brilliantly displaying the illustration) with an absorbent terry cloth back. Two functions in one towel – both aesthetic and practical.
▸ 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 due to its compact size. The terry cloth back dries hands and face pleasantly soft, while the front showcases the motif.
Crafted 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).
