Description The size of the fabric 23.2 x 21.6″ (55 x 59cm) This is Japanese “Meisen” size. Fabric : Ramie 100% (rough texture) Filling : Natural Cotton 100% Only persimmon tannin from the Minamiyamashiro region (present-day Souraku and Tsuduki counties in Kyoto Prefecture), which is said to be of the highest quality, is used. The tannin content of persimmons is richer than those from other production areas. A large amount of water is essential for dyeing, but we use only mountain water. We do not use tap water. Kakishibu is a traditional Japanese dyeing which uses the juice of fermented, unripe persimmon fruit. It has the natural antiseptic and insect-repelling effect. This way of dyeing is sometimes called “the dyeing of the sun”. These colors get deeper and deeper as being lightened by the sun. You can enjoy the changing colors of them. They smells a bit of the natural dyeing liquid when you receive, but it’ll be vanished eventually.

Customer service from the shop was excellent and both dispatch and delivery were very fast. Unfortunately I had to pay some customs charges but it was worth it as it is impossible to find a zabuton of this quality in the UK. The kakishibu tone is beautiful and it is so great to have the opportunity to support traditional dyeing methods; I also do not find that there is any unpleasant odour from the dye. Would not hesitate to purchase again from this fantastic shop. ありがとうございます。
