The Aizome-fu Collection

By utilizing advanced techniques rather than actual indigo, we are able to offer the classic, evocative look of indigo with the ease of contemporary fabrics—a perfect marriage of tradition and modern living.
Size
| Size | Thickness | |
|---|---|---|
| Single | W150 × L210 cm (59" × 82") | 5 cm (2.0") |
| Semi-Double | W170 × L210 cm (67" × 82") | 5 cm (2.0") |
| Double | W190 × L210 cm (75" × 82") | 5 cm (2.0") |
*All sizes and thicknesses are approximate.
*Please note: In Japan, futon sizes are traditionally based on the measurements of the outer fabric casing before it is stuffed. Accordingly, the sizes listed in our store refer to these dimensions prior to filling. Because our Kake Futons are filled with a generous amount of 100% cotton, the futon expands in thickness, which pulls the edges inward. As a result, the finished futon becomes slightly smaller than the original casing, making it difficult to state an exact final size.

DISCOVER
Return to the true origin of comfort
At Takaokaya, we handcraft every natural cotton kake futon, upholding time-honored techniques passed down through generations of skilled artisans. With deep care for your rest, our craftsmen carefully tailor the exact amount and layering of cotton fill to ensure absolute comfort.
In an age overflowing with modern sleeping options, we invite you to Re-discover the timeless luxury of a traditional cotton duvet. There is a reason this craftsmanship has been cherished for generations.
1. Toji Stitch
To prevent the cotton filling from shifting inside the futon, the three layers—outer fabric (front and back) and cotton filling—are carefully secured with thread. This traditional hand-stitching technique is called “Watoji (和綴じ).” Unlike standard machine quilting, which compresses the cotton, Watoji gently holds the layers in place, preserving the natural loft and softness of the cotton for a truly comfortable sleeping experience.
Please note that over time, some stitching may come loose or break. This does not affect the futon’s functionality, so you can enjoy it with confidence.
2. Frame & Lining
For the frame and lining, we use a traditional unbleached cotton fabric known as kibata. After weaving, the fabric undergoes only a simple warm-water wash—free from any bleaching or chemical dyeing. This preserves the simple, raw beauty of the natural fibers and gives it a delightfully soft feel against the skin.
You may notice tiny dark specks scattered across the surface; these are completely natural remnants of the cotton plant's leaves and husks. They are entirely harmless, so please rest assured and enjoy the pure, unrefined comfort of natural cotton.
3. Joint Seam
Due to the width of the fabric, kake futons require a seam. As a result, patterned fabrics may have slight misalignments where the pieces meet. We appreciate your understanding.
Custom sizes are also available upon request—please feel free to contact us for details.
Simple Maintenance, Everyday Freshness
Kake Futon Cover
Effortless Care, Seamless Comfort
Designed to pair perfectly with our Kake Futon, this cover brings comfort and practicality to everyday living. Thoughtfully crafted with a side zipper, your futon slips in and out smoothly for effortless setup and removal.
Tiny loops attached to each corner of our Kake Futon allow you to secure the inner ties of the cover, keeping everything perfectly in place.
Made for daily life, the cover is fully machine washable, so keeping your bedding fresh and clean is completely hassle-free.
MAKE IT YOURS
Sizes
Our kake futons are available in three standard Japanese sizes: Single, Semi-Double, and Double.
Traditionally, futon sizes are measured by the dimensions of the outer fabric casing before the cotton filling is added. Accordingly, the sizes listed on our online store refer to the casing dimensions prior to filling, and the completed futon will be slightly smaller once stuffed.
Single: W150xL210cm
Semi-Double: W170xL210cm
Double: W190xL210cm
Tip: If you are planning to purchase a Shiki Futon as well, we generally recommend choosing the same size for both your Shiki Futon and Kake Futon (e.g., Shiki Futon: Single [100x210 cm], Kake Futon: Single [150x210 cm]).
While there is no strict rule, a properly sized Kake Futon fully covers the Shiki Futon during winter, blocking cold air from seeping in and keeping you warm.
Fabric
Choose Your Pattern & Personalize
Customize your futon to perfectly suit your home with our signature Aizome-fu fabric series. Inspired by the deep, captivating hues of traditional indigo dye (aizome), this collection embodies a quiet beauty revered in Japan for centuries. The Aizome-fu series reinterprets this enduring aesthetic—capturing its soulful essence without the use of actual indigo dye.
A heritage of elegance, softly woven into modern living.
