Description
Where charcoal meets textile elegance
What is the Shijima Towel?
The Shijima towel is UCHINO’s premium towel line woven with Kishu binchotan (Japanese white charcoal) infused yarns, combining elegance, functionality, and wellness benefits. (“ZEN 紀州備長炭『しじま』”)
Key features & benefits
1. Natural deodorizing and odor control
The towel yarn incorporates fine powder of Kishu binchotan (from ubame oak) into viscose/cotton blended fiber, creating micropores on the charcoal’s surface that adsorb odor molecules. This gives strong deodorant / odor-management capability.
2. Sophisticated charcoal-tone aesthetics
The towel’s color palette revolves around deep charcoal and ash tones: subtle, calming, and capable of blending seamlessly into modern interiors or spa settings.
3. Gentle on baby / sensitive skin
The Shijima towel has earned OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I certification, meaning it’s safe even if a baby puts it in the mouth, and is kind to delicate or reactive skin types.
4. Range of sizes & versatility
A full lineup is available. This breadth allows matching to many use contexts, from guest amenities, hotel / spa settings, to home luxury lines.
