IKEHIKO Igusa (Rush Grass) Cushion for Buddhist Altars, Made in Japan, Fukuro-ori (Fukuro Weave), Sanzenin, Approx. Size: 70 x 70cm, Gold, #3109209

Product Introduction

This zabuton cushion is perfect for those preparing for Obon or those who have recently purchased a new Buddhist altar. It arrives in a gift case, making it the perfect gift. The fabric is finished using a technique called bag weaving. Due to the complex curves, it will break if long rush grass is not used. The dense warp threads make it sturdy and tear-resistant. It uses domestically grown (Kyushu) rush grass. Each strand is thick, with a thick outer skin and fine fibers, making it resilient and durable. Rush grass has natural air purification and humidity control properties. It is also stain-resistant, and will develop a golden color with use, enhancing its unique character. The rush grass is treated with Aomori cypress (antibacterial and deodorizing properties). The filling is made of 40mm of solid batting, made by condensing polyester batting. It has just the right amount of resilience and is resistant to wear.
