My daily work
I rotate between filling pillows, sewing and finishing them, and quilting shikibuton. The work is familiar, but every step needs close attention.
With devotion, one piece at a time
I want each customer to smile when they receive the futon they have chosen. Remembering the person who will use it helps me bring care to every piece I make. I hope it becomes part of a comfortable night’s rest.
A “family-like” team
We work closely together, rather like a family. When a problem comes up, we think it through as a team. In one training activity, the marshmallow challenge, our team built a tower 84 cm high. Working together like that grows out of the way we help one another every day.
Sleep is one third of life
I am also preparing for the Certified Sleep & Bedding Advisor qualification — I want to try the next exam. “One third of life is sleep” is a line I learned — since we spend so much time on sleep, the quality of bedding is worth our care. “Nerushiru®” (the workshop’s own sleep-journal app) has also let me begin to understand my own sleep. All of this adds a sense of responsibility as I face each process.
