The design my friend made was a design with a yin and yang motif. Yin and Yang are based on the motif of Yin and Yang, which means the integration and harmony of opposites, and are perfect for meditation scenes.
However, I was a little worried about whether this would be supported by many people.
So we tried crowdfunding, and we were able to get support from as many as 130 people, and we were able to commercialize it.
[Comment from the designer]
〜About ZAFU & ZABUTON Design〜
Since I was originally a pattern maker for clothes, the first thing I thought about was how to express a beautiful shape by adding a switching line.
ZAFU Ying Yan is an image of a yin-yang pattern.
The curved surface of ZAFU is expressed by lines that look like they are cut out into yin and yang.
I think that yin and yang, which means the integration and harmony of opposites, is also in harmony with the meditation environment.
ZAFU Lotus is a flower-like image.
Ying Yang digested all the leeway on the pattern.
Lotus expresses spaciousness with gathers.
Piping, which is sandwiched around the perimeter of the central circle, is also a technique used in clothes.
You can expect the effect that the switching line looks beautiful.
