The "Okage" (which stands for "thanks to" in Japanese) hand towel series makes you remember that you're here thanks to the wisdom of nautre, environment and culture.
A Japanese original "(authentic) chusen dyeing" technique is adopted to dye traditional "Ise cotton" using "Ise stencil", a national traditional craftwork. Each piece of the quality hand towel is thus hand-dyed meticulously.
It feels better and better as you wash, and its texture becomes finer and finer as you use.

Alluring Country Tour
"In this holy place Ise, waves comes across from the land of eternal peace and fertility. A remoted, yet alluring country. I'd like to stay here", an oracle says.

The region boasts Miyagawa River, the clearest river in Japan, a virgin forest around its source, deep-blue ocean and rias coast, all of which producing abundant blessings from the land and sea. The Ise Jingu Shrine was established two thousand hyears ago when the oracle was given, and it consists of Seigu (Naiku, Geku), 14 Betsugu, 43 Sessha, 24 Massha and 42 Shokansha shrines (125 shrines in total). Especially among then, you can collect commemorative red seals at Seigu shrines and 5 of Betsugu shrines (Tsukiyonomiya, Tsukiyominomiya, Yamatohimenomiya, Izawanomiya and Takiharanomiya).
