This is a set of 5 oshibori (hot towel) rests from Hakusan Toki. * Made of ceramic, so they can be cleaned with dish soap. * Place a wet towel on them and microwave for a hot towel. * The holes allow for ventilation, making them functional. These have been stored at home for a long time and show some minor scratches, but no obvious damage. Please consider purchasing if you understand this.
