Ganbanyoku (rock bathing) has been the recent rage in the ever changing health and beauty industry in Japan. Especially due to the decrease in price of stones used in these bathing facilities, ganbanyoku has become the next best thing to a luxurious spa visit at a weekend getaway.

However, due to the increase in number of ganbanyoku facilities, the craze is soon expected to reach its peak. Bringing a new twist to their current services has become crucial in order to not only outlive the competition of two thousand spas nationwide but sustain the trend. A successful example is a Nagoya based ganbanyoku chain which has utilized its extensive knowledge of stones to develop unique new products for women using a stone powder with healing properties.

K-form fabrics are manufactured under a process in which a thin layer of foam rubber measuring 0.1-0.5mm in thickness is placed between two sheets of cloth. K-foam fabrics are well known in Japan as materials for brand bags. Nisshin Water Proof is the only company in Japan possessing this special processing technology, with which almost any fabric material can be revitalized as light textured yet firm material combining elasticity with a high class feel.

Moreover, since the rubber used in this process consists almost entirely of natural rubber, K-foam fabrics are environmentally friendly products that do not produce dioxins or environmental hormones.
