Refreshing Summer Living: 'SASAWASHI' Limited-Time Shop Period: June 10th (Wed) – June 23rd (Tue) Location: Hankyu Umeda Main Store, 8th Floor, Promotion Space 83

From June 10th (Wed) to June 23rd (Tue), Hankyu Umeda Main Store will host the 'Refreshing Summer Living: SASAWASHI Limited-Time Shop' at Promotion Space 83 on the 8th floor. This event will feature items from the 'SASAWASHI' brand, which combines thin, flexible washi paper known for its humidity-controlling properties with naturally antibacterial 'kumazasa' (bamboo leaves). We propose a lifestyle for a healthy Japanese summer, featuring everything from apparel and accessories to support comfortable outings in the heat, to bedding designed to help you get a good night's rest.

'SASAWASHI': A Natural Material Packed with Traditional Wisdom The material is made by incorporating naturally antibacterial kumazasa into washi paper, which is thin, flexible, and breathes by controlling moisture. Its natural, dry touch keeps the skin comfortable even during high-humidity seasons.

Support for Outings in Sunny and Sweaty Seasons The shop features items that reduce stress during early summer outings, including hand-knit hats that gently protect the skin from the sun, arm covers with a cool and refreshing feel, and T-shirts with a dry texture that feels comfortable even when sweating, distinct from cotton.

- Hand-knit hat: 7,700 JPY - Arm covers: 3,080 JPY

Comfortable Home Items to Upgrade Your Time at Home We are offering items to soothe the tiredness of the day, including bath towels and mats with a unique texture that lightly caress the skin after a bath, slippers that feel best worn barefoot, and fitted sheets that offer an instant cool touch and excellent moisture absorption/release for a comfortable sleep.

- Slippers: 4,400 JPY - Fitted sheet (Single): 22,000 JPY

Through 'SASAWASHI,' which adapts the power of washi and kumazasa, long cherished in Japan, to modern living, we deliver tips for a pleasant and healthy daily life.
