Why We Love It

If you're new to gauze bedding, start with the classics: a gauze blanket or a pillowcase — items that touch your skin for hours each night. Next, try gauze pajamas for an easy "everyday upgrade." You can also explore baby & kids items, or small gift-friendly pieces, when you want something thoughtful yet practical.

PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

There are nights when a simple thing — like a sheet that feels just right — makes sleep noticeably better. Matsunamiki builds for that moment. The lineup centers on gauze bedding and sleepwear made in Japan, designed to feel calm and kind on bare skin.

Behind the brand is Shibata Co., Ltd., founded in 1885. The company is based in Toyokawa, Aichi, and maintains a strong link to traditional cotton "sarashi" processing. Matsunamiki also notes a kier-based method (high-temperature, high-pressure scouring/bleaching) as part of how it shapes the fabric's character.

That philosophy leads to "Nuddy Cotton®," positioned as a registered trademark for additive-free gauze, and described as patented. From gauze blankets and covers to pajamas, plus baby & kids categories and small accessories, the range lets you build comfort step by step — starting with bedding basics, then moving into everyday wear.

Founded in 1885 — rooted in cotton scouring and bleaching in Aichi

Matsunamiki is run by Shibata Co., Ltd., based in Toyokawa, Aichi. The company has long worked with cotton "sarashi" (scouring/bleaching), and that craftsmanship shapes the feel and performance of its gauze textiles.

Traditional "kier" scouring — high-temperature, high-pressure processing

The brand highlights a kier-based method (kier scouring/bleaching) as a core process. It prioritizes time and careful handling to bring out cotton's natural softness and comfort.

Nuddy Cotton® — a registered trademark for additive-free gauze

"Nuddy Cotton®" is presented as a registered trademark. The concept is to keep the fabric close to cotton's main component (cellulose), aiming for a clean, gentle touch. The brand also states that its additive-free gauze is patented.

"Zero-second absorbency" for a drier, fresher feel

Matsunamiki often uses the phrase "zero-second absorbency." It reflects a focus on quick moisture uptake — useful when you want bedding that feels airy and comfortable through the night.
