Description:This is a top-quality mat that emphasizes both aesthetic beauty and durability. It uses hemp yarn and cotton yarn for the warp threads, employing twice the amount of yarn compared to standard woven threads. Combining hemp and cotton yarns makes the threads extremely strong. Additionally, each thread is thicker, resulting in a clear woven texture with pronounced bumps, creating a very beautiful appearance. Simply placing this mat over your existing tatami can refresh the look of your room. It is ideal for revitalizing sun-damaged tatami or protecting new tatami from dirt.
The tatami surface used is over 135cm in length, classified as JAS Class 1 (a high-grade tatami surface), and is made from domestically produced (Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture) grass. It is woven from carefully selected high-quality, thick, long grass, making it durable and long-lasting, with a comfortable volume that feels good on the skin. About 88cm of the 130cm length is used.
This product uses longer grass with less white at the edges, making it a premium item. (The white parts are not sunburned; they are the base and tip colors of the grass.) Longer grass is considered more luxurious. The grass has a reddish-brown tip, a white base, and a blue (green) middle. The more high-quality blue middle section used, the more durable and beautiful the finish. Over time, grass naturally develops a sun-tanned appearance, but those with more blue middle sections tend to tan evenly and attractively, developing a rich patina.
This mat is woven with the same technique as tatami surface weaving, using thread-drawn weaving. Compared to double weave, it has a higher density of grass insertion, making it more durable. Its smooth surface resists dust accumulation. For those seeking long-term use or higher durability, thread-drawn weaving is recommended.
The grass used is domestically produced in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture. Japanese grass is thicker, with a thicker epidermis and finer fibers, providing elasticity and excellent durability. Grass also has air-purifying and humidity-regulating properties and is resistant to dirt.
The surface has been treated with "Hiba Essence," extracted from the Hiba wood of Aomori Prefecture, using the manufacturer's proprietary technology. Hiba Essence contains hinokitiol, a natural substance with extremely high antibacterial properties. (Compared to untreated products, it offers antibacterial and deodorizing effects.)
Both sides of the mat can be used, making it economical.*Please note that as a natural material, and because each piece is handcrafted by artisans, there may be slight variations in shape and size compared to the listed dimensions.*
