Fuji Futon Tokyo's Initiatives in Japan: [Down Futon Refurbishment]

Hello!

Today, we'd like to introduce the "Down Futon Refurbishment" technique that we are practicing in Japan.

This environmentally friendly method revitalizes old futons, making them fluffy and comfortable again.
We hope this gives you a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind *uchinaoshi* (refurbishment).

What is Down Futon Refurbishment?

Down futon refurbishment is a traditional technique in Japan that involves dismantling used futons, cleaning the down inside, and reusing it.

Instead of purchasing a brand-new futon, you can breathe new life into your cherished one. This technique, which has been passed down for generations, embodies Japan's environmentally conscious craftsmanship.

Why is Refurbishment Necessary?

Over time, the down inside futons deteriorates, reducing their insulation and comfort. However, with proper cleaning and processing, the down can regain its high-quality properties. Refurbishment offers several benefits:
