Wrap yourself in traditional craftsmanship with this Ainu pattern Imabari towel blanket. Its striking motifs are adapted from the kaparamip and chikarakarape, Ainu garments that Reiko Kayano tailored for her family in Nibutani, Biratori Town. The design blends centuries of heritage with bold, modern color choices, making it a stylish fit for cozy evenings indoors or campfire nights outside.
Made from 100% cotton, the blanket measures 92 centimeters wide by 144 centimeters long. The front features a sheared cut-pile finish for a smooth, pleasant feel, while the back retains a traditional soft pile weave. It is crafted in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, an area famous for over 130 years of towel production. The region relies on ultra-soft water from local mountain streams, which allows weavers to draw out cotton's natural softness, strong absorbency, and vivid dye work without harsh processing.
This brand new towel blanket has passed strict regional quality standards, earning the official certified Imabari Towel mark. It pairs Ainu heritage from Hokkaido with the renowned weaving craft of Imabari, one of Japan's most celebrated towel-making regions.
