Indian woman flies to Japan for Rs 40,000 custom pillow

A chartered accountant, Vipandeep Kaur, travelled to Japan to buy a customised pillow worth nearly Rs 40,000 from Nishikawa, a bedding brand, at a 400-year-old shop in Nihonbashi. She said long hours on her laptop and phone had caused persistent neck pain. Her Instagram video drew over 300,000 views in four hours, dividing users over whether the expense was worthwhile.
