Authentic Japanese Zafu for Zazen Meditation
A Zafu is a traditional round meditation cushion used in Japanese Buddhist practice to elevate the pelvis and create a stable foundation for seated meditation. Its purpose is not simply to provide softness, but to support balance, posture and stillness.
This Japanese-made model is designed to help maintain a stable sitting position during Zazen, Soto Zen practice, mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises and other forms of seated meditation.
Traditional Black Cotton & Panya Kapok Filling
The outer surface is made from black cotton fabric, giving the cushion a sober and traditional appearance suited to Zen practice, temples, dojos and meditation rooms.
The interior is filled with panya, also known as kapok fiber. Kapok is lightweight, resilient and naturally supportive, helping the cushion retain a comfortable firmness without excessive sinking.

Who Is the 9 Sun Zafu Best For?
The 9 Sun / 27 cm model is the most compact size in this Japanese Zafu range. Its lower and smaller profile is particularly suitable for practitioners who have good flexibility in the hips, knees and ankles and who prefer less elevation during meditation.
It is also a practical choice for smaller meditation spaces, dojos, temples or practitioners looking for an easy-to-store traditional Japanese meditation cushion.
Designed to Support Proper Zazen Posture
A traditional Zafu helps raise the pelvis so that the practitioner can establish a more balanced relationship between the hips, spine and legs. The objective is to create a stable seated base rather than a soft, sinking surface.
The firm kapok filling of this model provides stable support for traditional postures such as half lotus, full lotus, Burmese-style sitting and other cross-legged meditation positions.

- Zazen meditation

Why Choose a Made in Japan Zafu?

Let customers speak for us
Excellent experience with this e-shop which I do recommend for their really nice selection and for their precious advice.
The Tabi boots I get are exactly how I expected them.
As an US 10 the 28 is perfect.
Japanese traditional style to walk through the streets of the world
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
Confortable et parfsit pour ma taille de pied. C’est super a porter a l’interieur :)
An amazing Gi. More like a samurai robe. Where the tk-10 is stone this is water, not flimsy but heavy but flows like a powerful river. Amazing quality.
I ordered this product as a replacement for a cheap Chinese samue that lasted roughly 3 weeks. This one is on another level. I am 182 cm and 83 kg and the 2L fits me nicely. Although based on the leg length a L would have also worked. The cloth has a nice thickness and texture to it. International shipping was fast. Would definitely recommend...it would also be really nice if this shop would have an European reseller, preferably in Germany ;)
