📖 HISTORY

※ Statue of Myoue Shonin sitting on a tree (Early Kamakura period, early 13th century)

The Za-fu is a traditional cushion used in Zen meditation practice and has long been used in Japan. Since the Kamakura period (from the 12th century onward), when Zen Buddhism spread throughout Japan, it has been passed down as an essential tool supporting monastic training. By helping stabilize the body and maintain correct posture, it is well suited for long periods of seated meditation.

坐蒲は、坐禅の修行に用いられる伝統的な座具で、日本でも長く使われてきました。禅宗が日本に広まった鎌倉時代（12世紀以降）から、僧侶の修行を支える重要な道具として受け継がれています。身体を安定させて正しい姿勢を保ちやすくすることで、長時間の坐禅にも適しています。
