Kusamakura is a compilation album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in Japan in 1988 on EMI Music/Odeon Records. The album's title translates as Grass Pillow.
The compilation, which comprises tracks from studio albums Park Hotel (1986) and Elisir (1987), also includes the previously unreleased recording "Le scogliere di Dover" ("The Reeves of Dover"), with which Alice participated in the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo in 1988, only available on this album. The track was later re-written, re-arranged and re-recorded for the 1989 album Il sole nella pioggia, then titled "I cieli del nord" ("The Skies of the North").
