The “beans” depicted in this pattern are a play on words, representing a healthy and energetic life (“living diligently” – wishing for good health and longevity) and diligent work (“working diligently” – wishing for business prosperity). The orderly arrangement of small circles also symbolizes the prosperity of the family line and household safety. This design evokes a sense of nostalgia and familiarity, containing a warm charm that wishes for a healthy life and lasting happiness for the user. ・[Kamawanu] hand towels are made with total-print (bun) fabric. Compared to the specially thick fabric used for picture hand towels, this fabric has a coarser weave and is thicker. As a result, it is highly absorbent and breathable, making it a practical hand towel. The appeal of total-print fabric is that it develops a unique character with use. ・There are two main types of fabric used for hand towels: “bun” and “oka.” Bun fabric is woven with thicker, 20-count yarn, while oka fabric is woven with finer, 30-count yarn. Oka fabric, made with finer yarn, has a finer weave, allowing for detailed designs such as delicate patterns and gradients. Bun fabric, made with thicker yarn, has a coarser weave than oka fabric. However, this allows for better breathability and absorbency, making it ideal for use as a handkerchief or cleaning cloth. While it cannot reproduce the fine detail of oka fabric, it offers the appeal of feeling the texture of the cloth.
