The Zafu: Japanese Meditation Pillow with 1200 Years Tradition

The zafu has been a trusted tool for Zen monks for over 1,200 years. Today, skilled artisans continue this legacy, handcrafting each meditation cushion with the intention of creating a sacred moment of mindfulness. The process uses a time-honored method: hand-stuffing natural 'Panya' cotton (Kapok fiber) through a small, discreet opening. This manual technique, a sensory skill that cannot be replicated by machines, results in the meditation pillow's characteristic firmness. It provides unwavering support for the pelvis, fostering a stable and profound state of meditation.
