Although Imabari and Senshu are currently the two most famous towel production sites in Japan, Mie Prefecture was also once a leading producer where unique technologies were cultivated. The Oboro 100 Years Ultimate Towel was developed by employing the best of such technologies. The towel is made from a pile fabric, which is particularly good at absorbing moisture, but another point of special note is the fineness of the threads. While fine threads are generally not used to provide volume, Oboro towels employ ultrafine threads to produce two piles at a time through a proprietary method. When you hold it, you will be surprised by its lightness despite its volume. The use of ultrafine threads also allows for superb absorbency and quick drying. Oboro towels were brought to life as a bath towel that best suits the traditional bathing culture of Japan.
