Kapok Round Zafu - Ume Komon

Kapok Round Zafu Ume Komon- New Beginnings

This zafu is consciously handmade in Spain with triple stitching and a cotton fabric imported from Japan.

This traditional Japanese print depicts the plum blossom (ume) in a tiny, detailed repeating pattern (komon). The plum blossom blooms in late winter, heralding its end. It is a symbol of hope and new beginnings.

As your hips get higher, your posture is straighter and your spine is upright, without tension. At the beginning, you may find that your zafu is a bit hard; do not worry about it, it will quickly get the right firmness while using it.

Made of 100% natural materials

Kapok is the original stuffing used to make zafus in Japan; it has the perfect firmness to meditate comfortably for hours. The natural kapok microfiber is made of is hollow like a cane and covered with an oily layer. This makes it lighter than cotton and almost completely waterproof and free from bugs.

In case it becomes compact over time, you can set it in the sun for a while and your zafu will retain its original shape. One of the folds is not fully sewn so that you can fill it with extra kapok when necessary. To clean your zafu, brush the fabric or use a hoover; any stain can be removed by rubbing smoothly with a wet cloth.
