About the Ojami Cushion
The Ojami Cushion is our original creation—an iconic kangu inspired by otedama, a traditional Japanese beanbag toy. Originally designed for floor seating, it offers gentle posture support with a unique balance of firmness and resilience. Today, it is also loved as a back cushion, adding extra comfort to sofas and chairs.

Unlike typical soft cushions, Ojami gently lifts your hips, helping you sit comfortably in agura (cross-legged) or seiza (kneeling) with natural alignment.

It also works beautifully on sofas or chairs—simply place it behind your back to find your “just right” position. Enjoy deeper comfort, kutsurogi (relaxation), and subtle posture support.

A functional piece that also adds a refined decorative touch to any space.

Care

This product contains cotton filling. To ensure its longevity, please follow these care instructions:

Washing

  • Do not wash at home. This item is not suitable for home laundering.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, gently dab the area with a damp cloth as soon as possible. Avoid rubbing harshly, as this may cause the color to bleed or fade.
  • Professional Cleaning: If deep cleaning is necessary, please consult a professional cleaner specializing in futons or heavy bedding.

Drying

  • Sun drying is possible. However, please be aware that dark-colored items may fade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

Storage

  • Store in a well-ventilated area. * Before long-term storage, we recommend drying the item in the sun to remove any lingering moisture.
  • Moisture Prevention: Cotton filling is sensitive to humidity. To prevent moisture buildup and mold, do not store in airtight plastic bags. Instead, use a breathable material such as a non-woven fabric bag.

Important Notes on Product

  • Handcrafted Quality: Each of our products is handcrafted by skilled artisans—from cutting and sewing to filling and finishing. As a result, there may be slight variations in size, shape, weight, and firmness between individual pieces. We appreciate your understanding of these unique, handmade qualities.
  • Natural Wear and Cushioning: Since this product is filled with cotton, the degree of compression over time will vary depending on the frequency of use, the user’s body type, and how the item is handled. Please understand that settling (loss of loft) is a natural characteristic of cotton filling and should be expected over time.
  • Static and Fiber Migration: Due to the nature of cotton filling, friction against clothing or other fabrics may cause static electricity. This can occasionally cause fine cotton fibers to work their way through the outer fabric. We appreciate your understanding of this material trait.

story of ojami

The Ojami Cushion is the brainchild of Takaokaya’s 3rd generation CEO, Koichiro Takaoka. Being particular about relaxing, he has always found it a little uncomfortable to fold the traditional zabuton cushion in half when sitting on the floor. So he wanted to revolutionize the experience of sitting down by creating a cushion that everyone can “sit comfortably by raising our bottom”, as part of his lifelong quest of pursuing the art of relaxation and creating kutsurogi products that put a smile on everyone who uses them. Inspired by the ancient Japanese beanbag toy called otedama (or ojami in the Kyoto dialect) and coupled with his many years of knowledge gained from creating kutsurogi products and making cushions, the Ojami cushion which offers unsurpassed comfort, finally came to fruition.

why is the ojami so relaxing?

Unlike ordinary cushions that stuffed cotton on a flat surface, the Ojami cushion is designed to be three-dimensional and stuffed with cotton. As a result, it becomes thicker (height), and the position of the bottom rises, allowing you to sit comfortably

THE SECRET OF RELAXATION 1

stuffing by skillful craftsmen

Unlike ordinary cushions, the Ojami is designed to be three-dimensional and is hand-stuffed with cotton by our craftsmen to ensure greater volume and fluffiness all over. The Ojami Cushion, being thicker, helps to elevate the bottom so you can sit more comfortably and relax.

THE SECRET OF RELAXATION 2

three-layer structure

To prevent the Ojami from going flat easily and to give support for a good sitting posture naturally, we created a three-layer structured inner filling. We selected a special urethane which is used as the core, which is then wrapped with a cotton pad, to create exquisite firmness and thickness.

THE SECRET OF RELAXATION 3

Shape secured by center stitch

Middle stitches are applied to the center of the cushions to keep the cotton filling in place. The contours achieved by this stitch, naturally take the form of your body when you sit or lie down on the Ojami, to provide absolute comfort and rest.
