Why are Japanese napkins so thin, smooth, and fall apart easily??

Many restaurants in Japan will offer you oshibori instead of napkins, which are warm towels that you can use for your hands, mouth, or wiping small things around your table. If you do find napkins in Japan, often they will be made with a waxy texture which feels less soft and less absorbent than the napkins in other countries.
