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.
Kasuri is a traditional Japanese weaving technique in which complex patterns are created by tying and dyeing yarns before weaving. Typically, indigo dyes are used to give the fabrics a characteristic blue hue. The patterns, often inspired by nature or traditional motifs, require skill and precision. Kasuri fabrics are renowned for their quality and are often used for kimonos and other traditional garments.
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.
