Designed to Refresh
With selected hikizome linen fabric and thoughtful design, your everyday comfort is beautifully renewed
About Hikizome
Hikizome (literally “pull-dyeing,” referring to the motion of drawing a brush across the fabric) is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique in which a bolt of fabric is stretched taut and carefully brushed by hand with layers of water and dye. This method is also known as bokashizome, meaning “gradual shading” or “blur dye.”
Each piece is hand-dyed by skilled artisans, one by one. This careful process embodies the beauty of tradition.
Personalize Your Long Pillow
You can choose your cover from two hikizome shades — Kamogawa Blue and Arashiyama Bamboo Green — each inspired by Kyoto’s iconic scenery, from the gentle flow of the Kamo River to the serene paths of the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. Enjoy your moments of rest with colors that reflect your personal style.
*The string color is thoughtfully chosen by our craftsmen in an “omakase” style. If you have a specific preference, please feel free to leave a note when placing your order.
