Buckwheat Pillow - Makura
CHF 35.00


This pillow, filled with Japanese buckwheat hulls (Sobagara), provides stable neck support. The height is easily adjustable by loosening the side loop to flatten the pillow. For centuries, buckwheat husk pillows have been prized in Japan for their breathability and hygiene. The cushion cover is made of 100% cotton.

The Asanoha pattern is a traditional Japanese motif inspired by its resemblance to hemp leaves. "Asa" means hemp, and "no ha" means leaf. The pattern is often used on textiles, ceramics and other handicrafts. It symbolizes growth, strength and health.

Care instructions:
To maintain the effectiveness of the buckwheat hulls, it is recommended to empty the cushion once a year and air the hulls. The cotton cover is machine washable. Despite the lack of a zipper, the cover can be removed by opening a visible hand seam. After washing and drying, the cover can simply be sewn back on with a thread and the cushion refilled.
