Ojami Cushion - Cotton
A New Standard of Comfort
The Ojami Cushion is our original creation and has become an iconic kangu (a Japanese relaxation tool), inspired by otedama, a traditional Japanese beanbag toy. Thoughtfully designed for floor seating, it provides gentle yet effective posture support.
When you think of a cushion, you might imagine something soft and fluffy. But Takaokaya’s Ojami is a little different. With its carefully balanced firmness and resilience, it offers a unique kind of comfort—one you’ll feel the moment you sit down or lean back.
Whether sitting in agura (cross-legged) or seiza (kneeling)—both traditional Japanese ways of sitting on the floor—the body can gradually feel strained over time. The Ojami Cushion gently lifts your hips, encouraging natural alignment and a relaxed, effortless posture.
It also works beautifully for sofa or chair seating. Simply place an Ojami behind your back and adjust it until you find that “just right” position—where your body can truly unwind. You’ll discover a deeper sense of comfort and kutsurogi (a feeling of calm relaxation), along with natural posture support.
Beyond comfort, the Ojami Cushion also serves as a distinctive decorative piece, adding a subtle yet refined accent to any space.

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.

THE SECRET OF RELAXATION
why is the ojami so relaxing?
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.
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.
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.
Crafted with Care, Filled with Heart
Each Kangu from Takaokaya is handcrafted by our team of Shokunin (職人), skilled craftsmen and women who carry knowledge and techniques passed down through generations. In our Kyoto studio, we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to creating Kutsurogi — true relaxation.
From the precise cutting of fabrics, to careful sewing, thoughtful stuffing, and the finishing touches, every step reflects the Shokunin’s dedication to detail. With care and sincerity, we approach our craft one piece at a time, ensuring each creation delivers comfort that touches the heart.
