Product Description
Simply lay this cover to refresh your tatami room. Use it to refresh tatami that has been sun-faded, or as a cover to protect new tatami from getting dirty. Uses long, domestically grown (Kyushu-produced) igusa of 120cm or longer. Approximately 92cm of this length is used. This is a high-quality product made with long igusa, resulting in less white at the edges. (The white parts are not from sun-fading; they are the colors of the root and tip of the igusa.) Longer igusa is considered higher quality. Igusa is reddish-brown at the tip, white at the root, and green in the middle. Using more of the good quality green middle part results in a more durable and beautiful finish. Also, as igusa ages and fades from the sun, products using more of the green middle part will fade evenly and beautifully, developing a nice patina. This product is finished with Itohiki-ori (pull-weave), the same weaving method used for tatami surfaces. Compared to Somoku-ori (plain weave), it is more durable due to a higher number of igusa insertions. Its smooth surface makes it resistant to dust accumulation. Itohiki-ori is recommended for those who want to use it for a long time or require durability. Uses domestically grown (Kyushu-produced) igusa. Each strand of domestic igusa is thick, with a thick outer layer and fine fibers, providing elasticity and excellent durability. Igusa has functions such as air purification and humidity control, and is resistant to dirt. The igusa has been treated with Aomori Hiba (Japanese cypress) for antibacterial and deodorizing effects. It can be used on both sides, making it economical.
