Dakimakura, Japanese Love Hugging Pillows

History
During the 1990s, dakimakura began to intertwine with otaku culture, leading to the production of pillow covers featuring printed images of Bishōjo from various anime or galge. Many of these early otaku dakimakura covers were released through Cospa, a character goods and apparel store which continues to release official dakimakura covers to this day.
Sometimes called a Dutch wife, although the original definition of this phrase is closer to the chikufujin.
