Product Description
Simply lay this cover to refresh your tatami room. Use it to refresh sun-faded tatami or as a cover to protect new tatami from getting dirty. Uses domestic (Kyushu-produced) igusa approximately 105-110 cm in length. Approximately 88 cm of this length is used. The edges of the edging will appear strongly whitish. (This is not sun-fading; it is the color of the root and tip of the igusa.) Longer igusa is of higher quality. Igusa is reddish-brown at the tip, white at the root, and blue (green) in the middle. The more of the good quality blue part in the middle that is used, the sturdier and more beautiful the finish will be. Also, as igusa fades with use, the more the blue part in the middle is used, the more evenly it will fade, developing a nice patina. This product is finished with Itohiki-ori weave, the same weave as tatami surfaces. Compared to Sumihiki-ori, it is sturdier because the number of igusa strands is higher. The surface is smooth, making it difficult for dust to accumulate. Itohiki-ori is recommended for those who want to use it for a long time or require durability. Uses domestic (Kyushu-produced) igusa. Domestic igusa strands are thick, the epidermis is thick, and the fibers are fine, giving it elasticity and excellent durability. Igusa has air-purifying and humidity-regulating effects, and is resistant to dirt. The igusa has been treated with Aomori Hiba (antibacterial and deodorizing effects). Both sides can be used, making it economical.
