Geisha Pillow in Japan  https://www.etsy.com/listing/186906358/vintage-japanese-geisha-pillow

This is a very unique set of pillows called "takamakura" which means "tall pillow". These were used by Geisha/Maiko to keep their elaborate hair styles perfect even while sleeping but it wasn't easy to sleep on them so to reinforce the importance of having perfect hair, rice was poured around the base of the support. If the geisha's head rolled off the support while she slept, rice would stick in her hair. The girl would thus have to repeat this process until her head no longer rolled from its support. Typically, without this happening, a geisha would have her hair styled about every week. 

The base of the 2 two pillows is "urushi" or Japanese wood lacquer. Please look carefully at the pictures. 

Each pillow measures about 23cmlong x17 cm tall x 9 cm wide. This is heavy-about 3 kgs (close to 6.6 lbs)

It is in excellent condition. It will be packed carefully and shipped via EMS express post which includes tracking and insurance.

Hannari Tofu (はんなり豆腐) is a Japanese Tofu motif mascot-character designed and manufactured by Beans Style and retailed by Passport.

Hannari Tofu products are characterized by being soft like tofu - for example, cushions and plush toys. There is also a picture-book series about Hannari Tofu. As of October 2008, 3 volumes have been released. The author is Yamasaki Rieko.

Hannari Tofus are only sold in Japan at the official passport stores.

Hannari Tofu has tiny hands and feet that stick out of the region of his head, and he is always smiling happily. Also, he comes in a variety of colors, with different personalities and head decorations.

The word "Hannari" means elegant, and is primarily used in Kansai Japanese.
