Second Life: Series 11 !
The wait is over! Series 11 has officially dropped!
Designed for freedom and flexibility, each pillow offers comfort in its own way—adapting naturally to how and where you relax.
Inspired by the traditional Japanese straw rice bale (kome-dawara, or simply tawara), once used to transport rice across Japan, the Tawara Pillow is a charming and comfortable companion for restful moments.
Its cylindrical form gently cradles the head and neck, making it perfect for napping or relaxing. Designed with adjustable side ties, the height can be easily customized — simply tighten or loosen the cords to find your ideal support.
The Long Pillow is created by connecting two Tawara Pillows into one extended form, allowing you to roll over comfortably with ease.
Versatile and practical, it works beautifully as a nap pillow, a body pillow, or even as a supportive footrest — one pillow, offering many ways to relax.
Like the Tawara Pillow, it features adjustable side ties that allow you to customize the height to suit your preference. Simply loosen the strings for a lower profile, or tighten them to create fuller, higher support.
For years, we only offered the Tawara and Long Pillow — beloved for their traditional charm, but a bit narrow for turning over or a full night’s sleep. Many of you asked, “Why not a standard pillow?”
We listened, and here it is: the highly requested standard-size pillow, wider and cozier than ever, made for a truly comfortable night.
Takaokaya believes that when our customers participate in the manufacturing process, e.g. the selection of materials, you get to choose how you relax and at the same time, project your own personality and style. We are honored to be able to co-create kutsurogi products with you that you will absolutely love and feel totally relaxed when you use them.
