J-Life Kurumi Brown Buckwheat Hull Pillow - COVER ONLY

 Customize the look and firmness of your J-Life Buckwheat Hull Pillow, or Soba Gara Makura, with our Japanese pillow covers and loose buckwheat hull (available by the pound).

Our handmade buckwheat pillow covers allow you to easily transfer the buckwheat pillow filling from an existing pillow cover into a different one, so you can refresh the look of your Japanese bedding, or replace a damaged/ worn pillowcase.

Kurumi (胡桃) means “walnut” in Japanese, and the deep brown hue of this fabric echoes the rich, earthy warmth of a walnut shell. With its delicate cross-pattern weave and grounded tone, this fabric brings a sense of natural depth and quiet sophistication to any space. Kurumi Brown honors authentic Japanese textile traditions while keeping your room feeling cozy and nurturing.

Traditional Japanese Comfort

Faithful to Japanese tradition, your sobakawa pillow case is composed of:

• An outer sheath that functions like a pillowcase and is available in White Ultra Sateen or in the same matching fabric as the outer case. In Japan, the color white is considered sacred and is associated with purity, humility, and cleanliness. It holds great significance in the Shinto religion.

• An outer case made with 100% cotton imported traditional Japanese fabric.

Our buckwheat pillows are available in two styles: the buckwheat neckroll pillow and the rectangular buckwheat pillow (each sold separately).
