{"product_id":"zokin-55","title":"Zokin","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA zokin (雑巾) is a cleaning rag traditionally made by folding and stitching together layers of old cloth, repurposed from worn-out kimono, furoshiki (wrapping cloth), or futon covers. This practice of giving fabric a second life reflects \u003ci\u003emottainai\u003c\/i\u003e (もったいない), the Japanese ethos of not letting anything go to waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis zokin dates to mid 20th century. Its layers of cotton are joined by hand with \u003ci\u003esashiko\u003c\/i\u003e stitching — a\u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg\u003e technique that turns humble patchwork into something quietly beautiful.
