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).

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.

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:

At our store, every futon is carefully refurbished by skilled craftsmen. Each futon is handled individually, ensuring no mixing with others' materials.
By combining traditional techniques with modern methods, we aim for a high-quality finish.

Refurbishment is an eco-friendly choice that reduces waste. By reusing old futons instead of discarding them, we can prevent resource wastage. Additionally, as down is a natural material, recycling it responsibly minimizes environmental impact.

Down futon refurbishment is a sustainable method that showcases the best of Japanese traditional techniques.

While this service is currently available only within Japan, we are happy to assist you if you can bring your futon to us domestically. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested.

We are committed to working with our community to promote comfortable sleep and environmental protection.
