I received this as a novelty item from the Yomiuri Shimbun. It's more gold than yellow, and I was told it was a gold-themed towel when I received it. It has glitter in it. Material: 82% cotton 18% polyester Size: Approximately 80cm x Approximately 30cm New and unused, I opened it for the photos. Its practicality as a towel is questionable, but how about as a good luck charm? Please understand that this item has been stored at home.
