Cojami Meditation Zafu Pillow

I purchased two meditation pillows and a kake futon blanket. So far all 3 have made for a comfortable, relaxing experience. The designs are beautiful. The blanket especially has been a joy each night. Keeps me super warm and I love how it looks aesthetically in my room.

I use the pillows for hugging which helps to relieve stress. Loved the flower emblem detail, really nice touch. Also came with a lovely handwritten note; definitely recommend Takaokaya and I will be purchasing additional accessories in the future.

The cojami meditation cushion is really cute and comfortable. It shows an outstanding quality. I will cherish it. Many thanks from France

Cojami Meditation Zafu Pillow

Earlier this month, I visited the Takaokaya showroom in Kyoto. Did I have the foresight to pre-order before I visited Japan? No way. Did they hook me up anyway with my dream Cojami? Absolutely.

The lovely sales attendant showed me the factory floor, helped me pick out a cushion and cover, and made sure I left with a smile. No detail was overlooked. (Shout out to Takaokaya for recruiting such an incredible international sales team. Support is available in a number of languages, which I thought was so cool!)

When I returned to the hotel, the friends I was traveling with were initially baffled that I would make a purchase requiring me to sacrifice so much suitcase space, but they quickly fell in love. They couldn't stop sitting on it, mushing it, using it as a bolster, tracing the seams. There is something really special about Takaokaya's products, something I haven't seen replicated stateside.

Back in the States, I am so happy with my Cojami. I got the medium size with hard pipe fill, which has been perfect for me. I've been using it for meditation but also just for chilling on the floor. It's also been really helpful for my yin yoga practice--it's firm enough that I can use it as a supportive bolster without worrying about any shifting.

I need an entire Takaokaya house. Great job, y'all. If you open an Atlanta location someday, I will be the first one in the door.

I love, love, love my Cojami pillows. I got some custom made in the obi material, which I previewed at the Takaokaya shop in Kyoto (I would highly recommend visiting! I had a wonderful time seeing the showroom and meeting all of the lovely folks working there.) The folks at the shop assured me that they could customize any part of the Cojami pillow, and they were able to get the exact fabrics I wanted along with a custom stamp of my birthday flower! I didn't stay long enough in Kyoto to pick them up, but they kept me updated via email about the status of my order, sent over pictures of the finished product, and delivered the pillows within a few short days!

I've been staring at my pillows nonstop since they've come in, and I use them for napping, sitting, and as an art piece. They're my little mementos from my time in Kyoto, and I am now a loyal Takaokaya customer. I'm trying to find any excuse to buy more cushions and pillows from Takaokaya!
