Tsuyukusa Gold Zabuton Cushion
Why We Love it
Accent your home with zen and harmony with this limited edition tsuyukusa gold zabuton cushion from Kyoto’s finest zabuton maker, Takaokaya, founded in 1919.
Takaokaya’s zabuton cushions are a treasure of centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. Employing expertise passed down through the generations, each zabuton cushion is handcrafted by master artisans to ensure every step contributes to impeccable comfort and firmness.
This attention to detail is what sets this authentic zabuton cushion apart from others. The 4 inches of 100% premium cotton padding is skilfully layered by hand in a gentle curve to offer you essential support for your posture, when sitting or kneeling for any period of time.
This sunset gold zabuton features tsuyukusa (露草), also known as Asiatic Dayflower, a type of wildflower that is known to bloom from summer to fall. The masterful artwork depicts the ethereal tsuyukusa leaves blowing against the golden sky.
Following the Kyoto tradition, the center of the zabuton cushion is finished with sampo-toji, a three-pronged stitch. The forward-pointing stitch enables you to distinguish between the front and the back of the cushion. The corner tassels, evolved from age-old Japanese custom, act to prevent harmful energy from disturbing one’s state of mindfulness.
