Study notes

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 肌触り (はだざわり) is the tactile feel of cloth against skin. 肌触りがよい evaluates quality; 肌触りが変わる describes a change.
  • Basic usage: A soft blanket feels pleasant, while a fabric's feel shifts slightly with repeated washing.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Quality of a texture and change caused by washing
    • Both sentences make 肌触りが the subject, but よい evaluates it and 変わる tracks it over time. The term concerns touch rather than visual pattern or thickness.
