Shapes and sizes of covers

Shapes of Japanese cushions
座布団縦横比 Do you believe that the shape of a Japanese cushion must be square?
Many current Japanese cushions (small size) are square, but the original shape was rectangular for a good reason. This was to allow the legs to be placed on the cushion when sitting straight. Since the length from the knee to toe is longer than the width of the thighs, the depth of a Japanese cushion was always slightly longer than its width. In addition, do you know that a Japanese cushion has a front side? The side with no seam is the front.
Size of Japanese cushion covers
Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specify Sizes L, M, and S as Hattan, Meisen, and Momen sizes, respectively. The main current size used is the Meisen size.
