seal

Japanese: シール
seal
Abbreviation of the English word sealskin. Refers to seal fur and fabrics made from it. The fur is short and densely grown in one direction, and is highly water repellent, so it is used as a ski mat or for rugs. In addition, when the hairs are removed and only the fluff is dyed, it is used as a high-quality fur for women's coats. The fabric is a type of velvet, made by adding mohair yarn to cotton fabric, although in recent years synthetic and synthetic fibers have also been used.
