MOKU Light is a lightweight Imabari towel by Kontex, designed for everyday life, travel, sport, gyms and saunas. It is woven from fine cotton yarn that Kontex describes as approximately 1.5 times finer than the yarn used in conventional towels, with a smooth gauze surface on one side and absorbent pile on the other.

The thin, breathable construction dries quickly, is easy to wring out and folds down compactly, making it practical to carry and use repeatedly throughout the day.

Low-speed looms

Woven in Imabari on traditional low-speed looms, from more than 150 yarn blends Kontex develops in house. Weaving slowly keeps tension off the yarn, so the fibres hold their natural loft.

Soft water finish

Finished with the pure soft water of Imabari's local river systems, the water the region's gentle dyeing and washing is known for. It is what gives the towels their absorbency.

Kontex

Founded in 1934 in Imabari, Ehime (Japan's most celebrated towel-making region), Kontex has spent nearly a century perfecting the craft of the towel. Each piece is woven on traditional low-speed looms using over 150 custom-developed yarn blends, then washed with pure soft water drawn from local river systems. The result is a towel of exceptional absorbency, rapid drying, and enduring quality, crafted with care for both the user and the environment.
