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.

In Japanese textile design, the hare symbolizes luck, fertility and longevity. Often associated with the moon, the hare also represents gentleness and tranquillity. Its motif is often used in kimonos and home textiles to convey positive energy.

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.
