the story of sasawashi
Sasawashi is a fabric born from ingenuity — a blend of two traditional Japanese materials: washi paper and kumazasa bamboo grass. Washi lends breathability and strength, while kumazasa brings natural antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Together, they create a textile that is gentle, durable, and remarkably versatile.
At Oddment, we curate Sasawashi not just for its function, but for what it represents: thoughtful design that respects nature, enhances comfort, and lasts through daily use.
