SAKURA Pattern Bamboo Charcoal 2 Ways Mini Pillow  Purple
SAKURA Pattern Bamboo Charcoal 2 Ways Mini Pillow. When I first came to Japan, one thing I was amazed by were the traditional Japanese pillows which were soft on one side, and firm on the other, with small bits of charcoal inside the pillow to help support your head. Here's a great version of this pillow, a rolled head support that can be unrolled and used as a zabuton (sitting cushion). Two beautiful colors to choose from.
