Paper towels. These Sasawashi Towels are made of washi (paper) and 100% cotton...
The washi gives the material antibacterial and deodorant properties, which makes the material great for towels and bathmats. Sasawashi also has slippers, blankets, and sheets available in a mixture of washi with cotton or silk.

Nice - do you know where you can buy these?
Regina, if you find out when these will be available for purchase in the US, please let us know.

Hi-- we have these for sale at our new online catalog at http://www.zenshizen.com
This is still a test store, but we can take orders with our very limited quantity. If you come by, please mention that you saw this in apartmenttherapy.com

I've bought a sasawashi towel, socks, leg warmers, and a pair of the Peace Geta from www.ZenShizen.com even though they have not officially launched their website. I really have enjoyed using all their products especially the leg warmers and socks! I heart my leg warmers!!! I wear them under my work pants & jeans in the winter to combat the cold winter.
