Review (5/5): I bought these for my children who have also spent extensive amounts of time in Japan and are also always trying to find some that are good quality like the ones you can purchase in Japan
I first started using these about 40 years ago when I was stationed in Japan. Unfortunately, the ones available in America are very short and of substandard quality compared to the ones in Japan. I finally found Japanese "wash rags" that are long enough to hold in my hands and scrub my back (I'm 6'3") and don't fall apart after the first month. I bought these for my children who have also spent extensive amounts of time in Japan and are also always trying to find some that are good quality like the ones you can purchase in Japan. Before, when one of us traveled to Japan, we would always bring back enough for all of us. I will purchase these again, but with this quality, I probably won't need to for a few years.
