Was tidying up a section of my walk-in when I saw these towels that Mio gave me.
For the Japanese, thoughtful gifts are chopsticks and towels. When giving chopsticks, it means wishing happiness and good relationships. It’s the same for Chinese when gifting chopsticks.
However there is no similarity good wishes when giving towels.
In Japanese culture, giving a towel as a gift represents wishes for lasting relationships as towels are woven from threads and symbolize a strong, lasting connection.
Giving towels in a Chinese context is generally negative because they are often associated with funerals, representing death or misfortune.
Given this towel or rather it feels like handkerchief many years before, probably when she was here in Singapore with the family in 2017.
She gifted us these Imabari towels in 2022 when our family met her before driving to Kumamoto.
Imabari towels are widely considered synonymously with high quality towels
For some reason I don’t know why this ads keep appearing in my FB. Look so interesting, I might get some for the kitchen next time
Of course as always I like to make comparisons
