This collection is a collaboration with Izutsu Textiles, an historic Kyoto textile house that has been in business since 1705. Izutsu has been making and selling finely woven silk and gold brocade for Buddhist priest robes, temple tapestries, traditional court costume and so on for more than 300 years.

Funzoe is a traditional Japanese priest robe pattern that is based on Buddhist Master, Kukai’s worn-out and heavily patched robe which he wore some 1200 years ago. Interestingly funzoe looks like trendy, contemporary camouflage but it has actually been a part of Japanese textile culture for over a millennium.

This sublimely chic collection was unveiled abroad in Paris at Maison et Objet, 2015.

About Takaokaya

Takaokaya has been producing handcrafted futon bedding and zabuton cushions in the ancient imperial capital of Kyoto since 1919. The company is thought to be the only one left that still makes it’s products by hand in Kyoto. Takaokaya prestigiously sells its products at all department stores in Japan.

About Ojami and Settee Cushions

Takaokaya developed the Ojami cushion for the new millennium. The unique shape is based on a traditional azuki bean filled Japanese ‘tedama’ beanbag toy, called ‘ojami’ in Kyoto dialect. The Settee cushion is a larger, more luxurious version of the Ojami. Try Ojami as a throw pillow on the sofa and Settee for comfortably sitting on the floor.

Care and Cleaning of Ojami and Settee Cushions

Ojami and Settee are traditional Japanese zabuton cushions which means that the cover cannot be removed for washing. If soiled, gently wipe with a damp cloth. In Japan a dry-cleaner that cleans kimono can often dry-clean zabuton. However, Takaokaya recommends overseas customers take extra care not to dirty their zabuton to avoid cleaning issues. Takaokaya says that most soiling is caused by food or drink.
