A zokin is a traditional Japanese dust cloth or cleaning rag; it is usually made from old pieces of cloth and it is usually layered and stitched for durability.
Along with diapers, zokin are among the traditional household textiles that represent the end of the line where the repurposing or recycling of cloth is concerned.
This attractive and zokin is a few layers thick and is sashiko stitched in a criss cross pattern: the white stitches over the subtle checked cotton is beautiful.
A wonderful zokin.
