This summer blanket, made of pure cotton, is extremely light and airy, highly absorbent, and very soft. Murakami Pile has brought the textured waffle piqué—which is usually found in bathrooms and saunas—into the bedroom, where this lightweight, loosely woven fabric makes an excellent summer bedspread. Thanks to its distinct three-dimensional honeycomb structure, the fabric creates air pockets, making it feel pleasantly airy against the skin. At the same time, the increased surface area can absorb a lot of moisture and dry quickly. This makes it the ideal alternative to an empty duvet cover or a top sheet as a summer blanket. The size—130 × 210 centimeters—has been chosen accordingly; however, as is typical for waffle piqué, the fabric will shrink during the first wash (to approx. 125 × 200 cm) and only then develop its relief-like texture.

The summer blanket is made of soft cotton and, despite its voluminous weave, is very lightweight with a total weight of 700 grams. This makes it just as suitable for taking to the sauna or the beach.

60% of towels in Japan are made in the Japanese town of Imabari, in Ehime Prefecture, in the north of Shikoku Island. There are 4,000 looms per less than 160,000 inhabitants here, including over 120 companies that are allowed to produce towels under the "Imabari Towel" quality label. The water used for bleaching the textiles comes from underground flowing springs that are particularly low in lime and heavy metals, especially from the Sōja River - a circumstance that has indirectly promoted the concentration of companies producing bathroom textiles. The use of the soft water makes the towels particularly pliable and at the same time allows dyes to penetrate deep into the textile fibers. The result: exceptionally soft and intensely colored linens. It has always been a tradition in the region around Imabari to support pilgrims who are on the 1,200 km long Shikoku pilgrimage route (one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage routes) with food, money, but also just towels on their journey - and this hospitality should also be reflected in the texture of the textiles produced here.

One of the mandatory quality criteria for "Imabari Towels" concerns the ability to absorb water: a 1 × 1 cm piece of the fabric must be able to sink to the bottom in the water within five seconds - an indication that the towel is able to absorb water and also other liquids without prior washing. Accordingly, Imabari Towels are characterized by absorbing moisture extremely quickly.
