Taketora, a specialist bamboo materials manufacturer and tiger-striped bamboo specialty store (operated by Yamagishi Takezaijo Co., Ltd.), which has been serving customers since its founding in Meiji 27 (1894) in the bamboo materials and bamboo products manufacturing and wholesale industry, has launched the traditional bamboo hugging pillow 'Shiratake Hugging Pillow Rokumeyo 100cm' to help customers comfortably endure hot summer nights. This product is offered at a special price due to minor cracks appearing in some curved sections. However, there are no issues with the woven body or the rattan-wrapped edges used to reinforce the rim, and it can be used without any problems.

Bamboo-woven hugging pillows have long been affectionately known as 'Dakifujin' or 'Chikufujin' and cherished as a traditional wisdom for staying cool during summer in hot regions. The Shiratake Hugging Pillow Rokumeyo continues this tradition, featuring the uniquely cool touch and excellent breathability inherent to bamboo.

In recent years, Japanese summers have become increasingly uncomfortable, with nighttime temperatures remaining high and more people experiencing difficulty sleeping. Even when using air conditioning, some find it too cold or dislike direct airflow. Using this pillow as a hugging aid creates a natural layer of air between the body and the pillow, reducing moisture buildup and supporting a comfortable, breathable sleep experience.

This product is crafted by layering two bamboo strips and finishing them in a 'Rokumeyo' (six-eye) weave. This method requires significant labor and high technical skill, resulting in a pillow with strong durability and a stable, comfortable hugging feel. It is also visually elegant, allowing users to fully appreciate the natural texture of bamboo.

However, because the product is intentionally made firm to ensure strength, minor cracks may appear in curved areas that are prone to stress. The items now being sold have such minor cracks in limited areas and are therefore offered as outlet products rather than regular stock. That said, the cracks appear only in specific curved sections, and there is no impact on functionality or comfort during use as a hugging pillow.

Since our founding, we have dedicated over 130 years to working with bamboo. Bamboo is a natural material that has long supported Japanese lifestyles, used in countless tools and household items. We aim not only to sell bamboo products but also to pass on the wisdom, culture, and craftsmanship that have been preserved through generations to the next. The Shiratake Hugging Pillow Rokumeyo is one such product infused with this spirit. We hope you can experience the traditional ingenuity for beating the summer heat and the unique comfort of natural materials in your modern daily life.
