Our stylish, high quality range of furnishings are designed to harmonize any living space and bring the relaxing Japanese art of ‘Kutsurogi’ to your life. Koichiro Takaoka, Takaokaya’s third generation proprietor, says “People in Japan are re-evaluating their lifestyles and what matters most to them. While mass production has brought benefits of handcrafted cushions, something is missing. That is heart and soul. If we use products with heart and soul, then our lives will be made much, much richer and more meaningful!”
Takaokaya’s Popular Ojami Cushion Collections — A stylish, harmonious blend of old and new
Takaokaya’s story begins in the cultural heart of Kyoto, a city known for its rich history, stunning temples, and vibrant traditions. Kyoto is a place where the old meets the new, and this is precisely the essence that Takaokaya captures in its products. Each cushion and bedding item is a testament to the skill and dedication of Japanese artisans who have honed their craft over generations.

Kutsurogi — Relaxing in Style
‘Kutsurogi’ may be translated as ‘to relax’ or to ‘feel at home.’ In Japan, though, Kutsurogi is something more: it’s a way of life. At Takaokaya, we have a manifesto to bring Kutsurogi to life.
