Tawara Pillow | Hikizome

Inspired by the traditional Japanese straw bag used in the past to transport rice grains called the kome dawara (米俵), this pillow is the perfect napping companion. who prefers a more natural stuffing for their pillow. With a clever design that allows you to adjust the height of the pillow just by adjusting the ties on each side. 

With three fillings options available. The hard polyethylene pipe is the original filling which has been a long-term favorite among Takaokaya customers.

The buckwheat filling was chosen to cater to our customers that are looking for a more natural and environmentally kind alternative filling.

Lastly, the recent addition to the lot is the soft polyethylene pipe which provides softness.

This Tawara Pillow comes with a machine washable cover.

About Hikizome: 

Hikizome (lit. ‘pull dye’) is a traditional Japanese dye technique in which fabric is stretched tight, water is applied and then dye is applied by hand with a brush. Painting the dye into the wet fabric causes it to blur. This technique can also be known as bokashizame, (lit. ‘blur dye’). We have 2 colors for this Hikizome collection. Both names come from famous sightseeing spots in Kyoto. These will be a great combination with Kyoto zabuton.
