A fukin (dish towel) made of mosquito net linen cloth. Sewed and created by Okai Mafu Shoten using the already weaved mosquito net.
As linen's fiber is longer than cotton, it hardly becomes fluffy, and thus, very suitable for drying dishes. Its water-absorbing power is four times that of cotton. Its strength also doubles that of cotton. It's also excellent in divergence, and it dries really quickly.
Starting as a dishcloth, it can be used as a tablecloth, and ultimately as a dust cloth. Please try using the unmixed blessing Linen Fukin.
I am thrilled with all the items in my order, and was very impressed by the customer service and the way everything was packaged so perfectly. The items I ordered are all so different, but they bring me much joy in my day-to-day life.
Thank you for the wonderful experience, I look forward to ordering more beautiful handmade items again from you soon. A.D. from New Zealand

My shopping experience at Shokunin was wonderful all around. The items I purchased are beautiful. They arrived very quickly from Japan, and the wrapping and packaging were beautifully done. Shipping costs were very reasonable considering that it’s coming from Japan to the US.
They also have great customer service.
I’m getting ready to place another order with them.
