* When the Haori pom pom is crumpled
What if I come to this, let's rely on the steam to the portion of the bunch. This is suitable good to held over the mouth of the boiling to have a kettle, it would be good to rely a little release the iron of steam (it'd better not press directly bunch with an iron). And it becomes exactly 100% original and can not be guaranteed, but in so became bunches, to return to the somehow the original as in the photo below.
