Description:This underlay is made from 100% Igusa cultivated with reduced pesticide use in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture.Features include:- Superior durability and elasticity compared to regular Igusa, with longer-lasting greenish-blue color characteristic of Igusa.- Even after sun exposure causes fading, it gradually changes to a beautiful amber color.- It has the ability to absorb nitrogen dioxide, which is a cause of air pollution, and also works excellently to regulate room humidity.
Simply placing this underlay can refresh your tatami room.Use it to rejuvenate sun-damaged tatami or as a cover to prevent soiling of new tatami.
The product uses domestically produced Igusa (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture) with a length of over 130cm, which is classified as JAS Class 1 (a high-grade tatami mat surface).Selected high-quality, thick, long Igusa is woven densely, making it durable and resilient, with a comfortable volume that feels good against the skin.Approximately 95cm of the 135cm length is used.
This is a high-quality product made from long Igusa with minimal white parts at the border (the white parts are the base and tip of the Igusa, not sun-fading).Longer Igusa is considered more luxurious.The color of Igusa varies from reddish-brown at the tips, white at the base, to blue (green) in the middle.Using more of the high-quality blue middle section results in a sturdy and beautiful finish.
Igusa naturally develops a sun-tanned appearance over time, but those with more blue in the middle tend to tan evenly and attractively, developing a rich patina.
This product is woven using thread-drawn weaving, similar to tatami mat surface weaving.Compared to double-twisted weaving, it contains more threads per unit area, making it more durable.The surface is smooth, making it less likely to accumulate dust.
Recommended for those who want long-lasting use or require high durability, as the thread-drawn weave offers enhanced strength.
Made from domestically produced Igusa (Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture).Japanese-grown Igusa features thicker stalks, a thicker epidermis, and finer fibers, providing excellent elasticity and durability.
Igusa has air purification and humidity regulation properties and is less prone to dirt accumulation.
Hiba essence extracted from Hiba wood of Aomori Prefecture has been processed onto the fabric surface using our proprietary technology.Hiba essence contains Hinokiol, a natural substance with extremely high antibacterial properties.(Compared to untreated products, it offers enhanced antibacterial and deodorizing effects.)
Both sides of the product can be used, making it economical.
*Please note that as a natural material and handcrafted by artisans, there may be slight variations in shape and size from the specified dimensions. Thank you for your understanding.*
