Bolster cushion featuring piped edges and adjustable drawstrings closures, finished with fabric bells.

Made in Golden Yellow, a warp kasuri pattern of wavy stripes, specific to Fukuoka Prefecture and a modern interpretation of a classic Kasuri stripe motif. Paired with Blue Grain and Violet-Khaki Stripe for contrast. The making of kasuri fabrics involves more than thirty intricate processes, with specialized craftspeople responsible for each stage. Because the process is so intricate, the fabric was historically reserved for the few — once woven for nobility, gifted to brides, and offered to the gods.

The fabrics are woven in a 77-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved techniques and salvaged Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, Kasuri declined after the post-war shift toward western fashion and synthetic textiles, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame.
