Where to buy zafu (can be secondhand) in Tokyo or Kyoto
Tomorrow I will be travelling to Tokyo, and later to Kyoto. I am interested in buying a new or secondhand zafu, which is a special cushion for zazen meditation.
I already asked a similar question (but regarding Samue). I tried to search around, but didn't manage to get any confirmation that they can be bought in same areas.
Best Answer
Matsumotoya in Kyoto sells zafu, though the selection is quite limited.
I can't really tell if this is a physical storefront or solely an online presence, even after looking at Street View, though it should be easy enough to contact them and find out. In the latter case, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange for delivery.

Answer 2
Butsudanya Takita Shoten is under construction at the moment. Near Tawaramachi station there is a line of Budsudanya shops, I found the zazen zabuton in one of them, but there is need to ask, I didn't see any at the shop window. Here is the streetview image of the shops.
