Kyo-Yuzen Small Zabuton Cushion - Sumi-zome Bansukin

The deep, rich sumi (ink) color creates a timeless, elegant design. The fabric is woven from threads that are first dyed in sumi, resulting in a delicate pattern. The fine vertical lines, known as "Bansukin", are created by hand, resembling the fine brushstrokes of calligraphy.

One of the standout features of these cushions is their long-lasting resilience. The comparison between a new cushion and one that has been used daily for three years clearly shows how well it maintains its thickness and elasticity.

The secret to this durability lies in the cushion’s inner padding, which includes a 2 cm urethane core. The blend of 90% cotton and 10% polyester in the filling provides a plush sitting experience, while minimizing flattening and maintaining its shape and elasticity over time.

This cushion combines both design and functionality, making it an excellent choice for everyday use.
