And in addition to these, the highest donor each fiscal year will receive two face towels from esteemed textile designer Kanako Kajihara. Born in Sapporo, Kajihara is known for her distinctive style, combining Japanese traditional craft with modern innovation. Her ethical design philosophy includes the use of leftover materials, which feeds into her aesthetic, lending to her truly unique designs. Her work is sought after globally, including by French high fashion brands.
Kajihara’s extra fine, soft, and quick-to-dry 100% blended-cotton towels make use of environmentally friendly materials including "Pima cotton," characterized by its suppleness and softness. The resultant yarn is processed with the cutting edge “super zero” twisting method, resulting in excellent absorbency and long-lasting fluffiness. Kajihara's towels are used by Tokyo’s prestigious Imperial Hotel.
