Crafted on a 1963 shuttle loom, this Bath Towel combines dense, absorbent pile with timeless softness, bringing heritage weaving and understated luxury to your daily routine. The Shuttle 1963 series is woven on an original shuttle loom that has been in continuous use in Imabari since Watanabe Pile’s founding in 1963. For more than sixty years, this loom has been carefully maintained and adjusted by skilled hands, its steady rhythm producing textiles with a density and character that cannot be replicated by modern machines. Through this deliberate process, artisans achieve a pile that is remarkably soft, absorbent, and rich in texture. Spun from San Joaquin long-staple cotton into a refined gray mélange yarn, each piece carries quiet depth and elegance—everyday essentials elevated through enduring craft. Generously sized, the Bath Towel offers a soft, enveloping comfort after every bath.
