Posted By: mikeoz Mon, Jun 11, 2018 I'd say that the one in the picture on tokyojinja is identical to this. You can see the pattern on the feet, and there is just enough of the side decoration visible to convince me these are the same. |

Posted By: Billy D Tue, Jun 12, 2018 Yes! Of course it is a pillow, very similar to Chinese pillow. I think they must have had little sleep or very hard heads, as they all seem so uncomfortable. I am surprised that with all their great inventions and an abundance of poultry why they never came up with a feather pillow? They even invented silk so they could have made nice soft pillowcases. Guess they were accustomed to this pillow and if it ain't broke, why fix it. |
