Zabuton Cushion
Kyoto-style Zabuton have a history of almost 1000 years: they used to symbolize a person's high status, and were only used by people such as the emperor, members of the imperial court, or the most revered Buddhist monks.
Now, zabuton cushions are part of Japanese daily life and are central to the Japanese 'omotenashi' culture of hospitality.
These cushions have the distinct features unique to Kyo-Zabuton: the tasselled, Y-shaped center stitch that keeps the cotton filling evenly distributed, a domed shape to ensure stability and comfort when sitting.
The traditional style has been reimagined to suit modern interiors and work as seated cushions for the floor or decorative cushions for the couch.

- This zabuton is handcrafted and therefore each zabuton’s size, form, weight, and firmness may vary slightly.
- Shifting of filling may occur with frequent use.
- Static electricity may occur when rubbed against other textiles, causing the fibers on the zabuton to loosen.
- To promote airflow and prevent dampness from accumulating inside the zabuton, allow the zabuton to air out under the sun for a short time, but refrain from long periods of strong sun exposure, which might cause discoloration to the fabric.
- Zabutons are not machine washable; please consult with a professional cleaning service for thorough cleanings.
- Small stains may be removed by lightly patting with a damp cloth and then storing the zabuton in a well-ventilated location.
