[Mori Seimenjo] Introducing Mori.Zen, a Seating Brand Designed to Restore Mind and Body

For people today, constantly pressed for time, moments to relax both body and mind are precious. Born from the desire to “deliver small moments of pause and restoration through the act of sitting,” Mori.Zen is a seating brand launched by Mori Seimenjo in June 2025.

Founded in 1917, Mori Seimenjo carefully processes selected raw cotton from around the world at its own factory, crafting futons, zabuton cushions, and other cotton products by hand. “With Mori.Zen, we’re using natural materials and artisanal skills to propose new types of seating that fit modern lifestyles,” says company president Motomichi Mori. The brand offers a range of items for mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and stretching.

One example is the “Zen-Style Cushion Pause—Ma—,” based on the traditional shape of a seat used in zazen meditation. The fabric is 100% organic cotton from India, produced with environmental considerations in mind, and is highly durable with a pleasant feel against the skin. The filling is made from Japanese buckwheat hulls, ensuring excellent breathability and a comfortable fit.

Other offerings include pyramid- and cylindrical-shaped cushions to support posture during yoga and stretching, as well as triangular cushions and flat mats for full-body relaxation. The triangular cushions use organic Indian cotton, while the flat mats use a highly breathable, resilient resin cushion material—each filling selected for its suitability to the item’s purpose.

Why not bring the comfort of natural materials and the careful stitching of skilled artisans into your home, making space for a moment of restoration for mind and body to your busy days?

Under its new brand concept of “High-quality natural materials and diverse designs showcasing Japanese craftsmanship to the world,” Mori Seimenjo plans to completely renew its official website within the year and launch an e-commerce site for overseas customers. The new site will make it easier to view and find product information, while also learning about materials and production processes.

“Through the new site, we hope to connect more easily with customers in Japan and abroad and deliver products that help make everyday life more comfortable,” says Mori. The launch of the updated website is eagerly awaited.
