Forest Scent UTATANE Pillow
Kitoplus(Machicom Inc) (Tokyo)
The “Forest Scent UTATANE Pillow” is a compact pillow measuring 15cm×22cm, convenient for carrying around, and exudes a “forest scent.” The filling is made with plenty of safe and secure domestic wood chips, providing a relaxing effect and easing tension through the scent of “phytoncide,” which offers the benefits of forest bathing. Its size fits into bags or backpacks, making it useful in various settings such as the office or while traveling, allowing you to easily enjoy the “forest scent.” The fabric uses “bengara dyeing,” hand-dyed with “natural water” and harmless natural dye “bengara mud,” with each piece dyed by artisans, making it a special item that cannot be mass-produced. The height can be freely adjusted with the strings on both sides, allowing for a comfortable experience tailored to your preference. The “forest scent” can be chosen from two types: “Aomori Hiba” and “Hinoki,” each offering different relaxation effects. The scent of the wood chips in the filling gradually diminishes over about a year, but the old chips can be recycled as insect repellent, shoe deodorizer, or moisture absorber for closets, and by replacing only the filling, it can be used repeatedly in a sustainable design. It is a product that aims to incorporate Japan’s forest resources and traditional wood culture into daily life, considering both people and the environment.
