I think we may have gotten confused with the towel wound upon the neck
because in the account of his death it mentions cotton around the
neck/throat...but below is all of the description we have from
http://www.3-hajime.com/seikatu.html
When the 其 one what kind of being hot, under any condition the り
which is the one skin sewing, the towel was not wound in the neck.
When two footwears of the 其 are worn, wearing securely, the っ
applying dragging in the foot finger and never there was no thing
which walks. The 其 three at the place where it sits down, gathering
the knee, you sat straight, did not scratch the cross-legged fashion,
the side ず わ り and the like did not do. Everyday you exchanged four
lower bands of the 其, those which were washed, washing that in true
っ white, you applied the paste, putting hit well with both palms,
stretched the wrinkle and to dry in the sun, you used kind of those
which you applied quite even with the iron. The 其 five usually, it
was very taciturn. Liking six liquor of the 其, always drinking,
Takagi Morinosuke of the brother-in-law and Kenzirou etc. Yamakawa
and, doing the story of the 戊 辰, resenting and lamenting. In 奉 job,
the work like the campus management was done in seven woman high
teacher schools of the 其, but the day and the like when the rain
falls traffic control the rickshaw.
