Most of Made in Japan products are sourced from small, family-run kilns in Gifu on the central island of Honshu, with the rest of our collections sourced from all over Japan. Our products make their way from Japan to our lovely warehouse in Yorkshire, where we keep them safe until it’s time for them to head to their new homes.

Crafted with care in Nara, Japan, the last remaining region producing traditional kaya (mosquito net) fabric, this kaya dishcloth is embroidered and printed in Wakayama to bring a touch of Japanese craftsmanship to your daily routine.
The origins of kaya fabric dishcloths trace back to factory workers who repurposed leftover mosquito net fabric, sewing multiple layers together to create practical cloths for personal use. This sustainable approach has since evolved into a beloved household essential.

100% rayon
When new, the fabric is stiff due to starch used in production. However, rinsing with lukewarm or cold water softens it, causing natural shrinkage while enhancing its fluffy, supple texture. The dishcloth is highly absorbent (1.3 times more than cotton), dries quickly, and is exceptionally durable.

What’s in the box?
Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
A beautiful small dish - exactly what I wanted. It’s charming and a beautiful blue. Delivery was very rapid and the dish was carefully wrapped in Japanese newspaper and bubble wrap. Very pleased!
