This fabric is Japanese Cotton traditional Mosquito Net Fabric made in Nara.
Mosquito net fabric is mainly made of 20-count yarn with a density of around 20 warp threads and 20 weft threads per inch, and plain weave fabric is called net mosquito fabric.
Because it absorbs water well and dries quickly, we often use it as a “mosquito net dishcloth/KAYA FUKIN/Hanafukin”.
In recent years, apparel makers have also used it for stoles and other garments because of its soft texture and pleasant feel against the skin.
The fabric you will receive is freshly woven and taut with glue.
When the glue is removed by gently washing(use 40c /100 F hot water), the fabric becomes very soft and pleasant to the touch.

You can use it not only for mosquito nets but also for curtains, partitions, and stoles.
Suitable for indigo dye, Bergara dye, kakishibu , or another Vegetable dyeing.

Please enjoy the traditional Japanese culture of mosquito net fabric to the fullest.

Nara’s local industry has been weaving mosquito nets since the Edo period.
Mosquito nets were the wisdom of life when people lived with the wind, a culture that can be said to be the heart and soul of the Japanese people.

As lifestyles have changed, we rarely see mosquito net hanging scenes anymore, but they are still in great demand for wallpaper materials and dish towels, and there are many weavers in Nara.

In the hot season, mosquito net fabric is comfortable on bare skin, cool and light, and can be washed quickly and dried quickly. It is warm and comfortable in the cold season thanks to multiple layers of 100% cotton mosquito net fabric.

While wearing materials reminiscent of the good old days of Japan, Please enjoy the four seasons in comfort and abundance with net mosquito fabric.
