Igusa Flat Pillow

An eco-friendly flat pillow made of igusa rush grass, grown in Kyūshū.

£75.00 per item

This pillow was handmade using sustainable, natural materials. Woven with igusa rush grass grown in Kyūshū – Japan’s southernmost main island – this pillow has excellent moisture absorbency and a fresh, grassy fragrance. The pillow uses hand-cut igusa, reusing material that would otherwise be thrown away. This hand-cutting method produces shorter clippings than those delivered by machine, increasing the pillow’s density and making it less likely to lose its shape. By avoiding the standard mud-dyeing process employed to dry regular igusa, the rushes used in this pillow retain smooth, dirt-resistant and chemical-free surfaces.

Doesn’t require washing.
Keep dry to prevent mould from growing.
Avoid direct sunlight.
Due to the nature of the materials, the colour might change over time from green to light brown.

Size: L50 cm x W30 cm
