Insomnia

Satoko has insomnia. She usually cannot sleep every day.
Satoko's neck is too long and she cannot find a pillow that fits. She has tried buckwheat hulls, azuki beans, and pillows made of various materials, but she usually arrives in the morning without being able to sleep well.

He also played a lot of sports, but for some reason he could not sleep at all.
The sound of men's voices in the surrounding apartments also bothered him.
The housing situation in the city is always cramped.

One day, an elderly lady came up to me and said
You haven't been sleeping well," she said. Here, I'll give you something to try. I don't want your money.
She handed me a light pillow.

I was surprised at the suddenness of the gesture, but the old lady's face looked so witch-like that I decided to go along with the gesture.

When I put the pillow down to go to sleep, I could smell the aroma!
I wondered, "Is there an aroma on it?"
I wondered, but I heard there was no aroma.

I put my head on the pillow.
The height of the pillow changes by itself!
What? Why? The shape changes.

"Good evening. I am a living makura.
The shape and fragrance change according to your daily needs. I look forward to working with you.

What is this? The pillow talked!
What does that mean?

The pillow the witch gave SATOKO is a magic pillow that is only given to one in a million people.
She said that the pillow was made by an alchemy technique that was created while she was putting magic herbs and oils from the old Czech Republic into a pot.

Since that day, Satoko's insomnia has subsided and she sleeps well.
She says that she is now living by doing plant therapy without people knowing, based on the abilities she developed while she was sleeping.
