Description:
Simply placing this underlay can refresh your tatami room. It is ideal for revitalizing sun-damaged tatami mats and can be used as a cover to prevent dirt on new tatami. The product is a free-cut type, easily adjustable to fit the shape of your room. The back side has a urethane layer, providing moderate cushioning.
It uses domestically produced (Kyushu) igusa, approximately 95cm of the 110–115cm length is utilized. The edging may appear somewhat whitish; **this is not sun damage but the color of the base and tip of the igusa**. Longer igusa strands are considered more luxurious. The tips of the igusa are reddish-brown, the base is white, and the middle is blue (green). Using more high-quality blue middle parts results in a durable and beautiful finish.
While igusa naturally develops a sun-tanned appearance over time, those with more blue middle parts tend to tan evenly and attractively, developing a rich patina. The igusa used is from Kyushu, Japan, and each stalk is thick with a coarse outer skin and fine fibers, making it resilient and durable.
Features of igusa include air purification, humidity regulation, and resistance to dirt. The igusa has been treated with Aomori cypress (Hiba) processing, providing antibacterial and deodorizing effects.
