Product Details/Story
Pagong has been hand-dyeing kimono fabric in Kyoto's much loved Yuzen-dye tradition for nearly a century. In 2002 Pagong launched it's own brand of contemporary everyday fashion clothing. Takaokaya collaborated with Pagong to create a Kyoto-style Yuzen dye cushion collection featuring motifs from Pagong's historic catalog of designs. The bold and colorful motifs are dyed on heavy, natural 'asa-men' linen hemp-cotton blend fabric. These cushions are pleasurable both to the eye and touch.
