What is Takashima Chijimi (shrinkage)?

It is a textile with history dating back to the Edo period.

With it's production area located at the west coast of Lake Biwa, the textile features a strong "twist" only on the weft yarn, resulting in an uneven surface.

Because the surface area which contacts the skin is small, it is smooth textured, highly absorbent, and quick drying, making it perfect material for Japan's hot and humid summers.

How to Put on the Cover

To make it easier to insert the Zabuton into the cover, wrap the cushion loosely in a thin plastic sheet first. The plastic helps reduce friction between the Zabuton and the cover.

  1. Wrap the Zabuton in a plastic sheet.
  2. Slide the wrapped Zabuton into the cover.
  3. Once the Zabuton is fully inside, gently pull the plastic sheet out.
  4. Adjust the corners and shape the cushion before closing the zipper.

The plastic sheet is used only during insertion and should be removed afterward.
