The award-winning and New York Times bestselling book about a cat named Wabi Sabi who searches for the meaning of her name Wabi Sabi, a little cat in Kyoto, Japan, had never thought much about her name until friends visiting from another land asked her owner what it meant. At last, the master says, "That's hard to explain." AndThat is all she says. This unsatisfying answer sets Wabi Sabi on a journey to uncover the meaning of her name, and on the way discovers what wabi sabi is: a Japanese philosophy of seeing beauty in simplicity, the ordinary, and the imperfect. Using spare text and haiku, Mark Reibstein weaves an extraordinary story about finding real beauty in unexpected places. Caldecott Medal-winning artist Ed Young complements the lyrical text with breathtaking collages. Together, they illustrate the unique world view that is wabi sabi.

Super comfy
Color: Soft, Size: Queen(28"×16"×5.9")
Absolutely love this pillow! It’s incredibly soft, supportive, and stays cool throughout the night. I’ve been sleeping much better since getting it. Great quality, perfect firmness, and definitely worth every penny.

Soft pillow
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
This latex pillow has been a great addition to my sleep routine. It offers the perfect balance of softness and support, especially side sleeping. I noticed less pressure on my neck and shoulders after using it. I also like that it’s made with natural latex and free from harsh memory foam chemicals. The removable cover is convenient, and the packaging makes it feel like a premium product.

Perfect Balance of Comfort & Support!
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
I absolutely love this pillow! The Talalay latex feels incredibly supportive while still being soft and comfortable. Unlike memory foam, it doesn't trap heat or give off any chemical smell-just clean, natural comfort.
I've noticed a huge difference in my sleep quality; it relieves pressure from my neck and shoulders, and I wake up without stiffness.
The Tencel cover is smooth, breathable, and removable for easy washing, which makes it feel extra fresh. The packaging was beautiful, making it feel like a premium gift right out of the box.
If you're looking for a high-quality natural pillow that's supportive, durable, and chemical-free, this is it. Highly recommend!

Hard to judge thickness with only dimensions to go by
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
Very nice quality, just what I hoped for. But it's just too thick for me. I'm thinking of using my electric knife to try to skim enough off to be usable. I've slept most of my life on latex pillows and have not enjoyed using other pillows.

Good pillow, but too high for my neck
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
I love the Talalay latex for the quality, and that there is no smell. However, it is too high for my neck. I wish the company would make it in a 3" version, instead of just 5.5". They do have a "slim" version, but it is not even the same kind of pillow. It measures 2.5" and the back side is completely flat, so you can not turn it in over for use. The company basically took this 5.5" version and cut it in half for the slim.
