Why We Love it

Balance body and mind with the Shibori black zafu cushion, meticulously handcrafted by Kyoto’s premier zabuton maker.

Each zafu cushion is individually sewn, shaped, and padded by master artisans. Layers of premium cotton padding create a firm yet resilient seat, gently encouraging healthy posture while easing pressure on hips, knees, and spine.

This coal black zafu features a field of white circular flower-like designs created by the shibori ‘tie dye’ process originating in the 6th century, where fabric is manipulated with folds and twists, and bound and knotted.

Subtle hand-dyed variations ensure each cushion is uniquely yours, while Kyoto’s centuries-old expertise delivers lasting ergonomic comfort and refined style to elevate your everyday rituals.

How to Use Your Zafu Cushion

• Meditation Zafu: The firm, rounded shape aligns the pelvis and spine, facilitating better energy flow and concentration during meditation.
• Ergonomic Seating: Gracefully supports your back when used on chairs or sofas, encouraging healthier posture and comfort.
• Floor Cushion: Elevates the hips when seated on the ground, easing pressure on ankles and knees and enhancing circulation.
• Neck Pillow: Gently cradles your head and shoulders, maintaining the spine’s natural alignment for deeper relaxation.
• Yoga Prop: Provides essential cushioning under elbows, knees, or sit bones during lotus or cross-legged positions, effectively relieving lower-back strain.
