Traditional Japanese patterns or designs, known as Wagara (和柄), are rich in history and significance. Each of these distinctive designs has its own origin and carries profound symbolic meanings.
The Ichimatsu, is a checkered or cobblestone pattern that features small squares arranged alternately in different colors. This continuous square motif symbolizes longevity, prosperity and posterity, as well as business flourishment.
While this checkered pattern has been around since ancient Japan, it wasn't until the 18th century that it was named "Ichimatsu", after a renowed kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu. The actor would don checkered hakama pants as part of his custome, for every performance. Not only did he start a fashion trend, the pattern also become synonymous with his name.

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.
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.
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.
