A Japanese kaya dishcloth featuring a golden crane framed by a decorative knotted cord, with a tortoise motif and softly coloured floral shapes across the background.
The crane and tortoise, known together as tsuru-kame (鶴亀), are traditional Japanese symbols of longevity and good fortune. The pairing is often used for celebrations and auspicious gifts.
Made from seven layers of loosely woven kaya fabric, originally developed for Japanese mosquito netting. The printed cotton surface is combined with rayon inner and reverse layers, creating a breathable cloth that absorbs water, dries quickly and becomes softer with washing.
The cloth is initially firm due to starch used during production. Wash thoroughly with water or lukewarm water before first use. Some shrinkage after washing is expected.
Suitable for wiping benchtops, drying dishes and cleaning small spills.
About Kaya Cloth (蚊帳生地)
Kaya cloth originates from Nara Prefecture, Japan, and has been used for over 1,200 years since the Nara period. Traditionally woven for mosquito nets (“kaya”), this fabric is now loved for its lightweight, breathable, and durable qualities.
Made from natural cotton or linen, kaya cloth is known for its soft texture that becomes even smoother with every wash. It’s highly absorbent, quick-drying, and gentle on the skin - making it ideal for towels, dishcloths, and reusable wraps in modern daily life.
