Where Ancient Craft Meets Modern Rest: The Hikizome Gorone Futon
In Japan, there is a specific word for the art of informal relaxation: Gorone (pronounced go-ro-neh). It literally means to "flop down" and relax.

For generations, the Japanese have mastered this art of unwinding. Whether lining up three zabuton cushions to watch TV or curling up with a favorite book, this "in-between" rest is considered a supreme everyday luxury. It isn’t quite the deep sleep of bedtime, nor is it just a quick sit-down; Gorone is about flipping the "off" switch—decompressing and resetting without fully committing to the night.

To enhance the Gorone experience, we use Hikizome (引き染め), a traditional Japanese "brush-dyeing" technique. In this process, fabric is stretched taut while artisans hand-paint water and pigment to create a delicate, ethereal blurring effect. Also known as Bokashi-zome ("gradient dyeing"), this method results in a soft, beautiful finish with a depth of color that no machine can replicate.

Why not invite a little Gorone into your daily routine?

About Hikizome Linen

Hikizome (literally pull dyeing, from pulling a brush) is a traditional Japanese dye technique in which a bolt of
fabric is stretched tautly, before water and dye are applied one after and another, by hand with a brush.

Our Hikizome linen collection comes in 2 colours – Kamagawa Blue and Arashiyama Bamboo Green, both of which are inspired by Kyoto’s famous sightseeing spots.

Why is goronenap futon so special?

Refined craftsmanship is deeply ingrained in both the DNA of Kyoto and Takaokaya.

All made by hand

Every product is lovingly handcrafted by experienced craftsmen using skills and techniques passed down for generations with pride for over 100 years.

Cutting

Every piece is done by the steady hands of the craftsmen. Getting this process right is very important as it determines the outcome of the final product.

sewing

Creating the outer shell of each product is no mean feat. Our craftsmen have to ensure that each piece is not only sewn at the right angles and made to the right proportions but also aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Stuffing

We place great emphasis on and take extreme care during the stuffing process because it determines the comfort level as well as the longevity of the finished products.

Finishing

At the end of the production process, striking the cushion is essential. This step is done to make sure that the cotton filling spreads evenly. Middle stitches are applied to the center of the cushions to keep the cotton filling in place.
