Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten's Hana Fukin (Rape Blossoms) This is a highly functional dishcloth made from mosquito netting fabric, a specialty of Nara Prefecture. It's about four times the size of a typical dishcloth (58cm x 58cm), yet thin and quick-drying. It becomes softer and fluffier with each wash, and its texture improves with use. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as wiping dishes, as a kitchen cloth, or for wrapping lunch boxes.
