Product Description
This is a rare checkered pattern tatami mat cover (only on the edges). Simply laying this cover can refresh your tatami room. Use it to refresh tatami mats that have been sun-faded, or as a cover to protect new tatami mats from getting dirty. The manufacturer has modified their looms with proprietary technology to express the checkered pattern using only the natural colors and weave of the material. Recommended for those who find plain tatami mat covers uninspired and desire a more luxurious feel. Uses domestic igusa (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture), approximately 115-120 cm in length. Approximately 91 cm of this length is used. Normally, the edges of the tatami mat cover appear strongly whitish. (This is not due to sun fading, but is the color of the root and tip parts of the igusa.) This characteristic, where the root and tip parts of the igusa have different colors, is utilized to create the checkered pattern. (Therefore, the checkered pattern is only formed within the range of the white root part. The center part will be plain.) Longer igusa is considered more valuable. Igusa has a reddish-brown tip, a white root, and a green middle section. Uses domestic igusa (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture). Domestic igusa is thick, has a dense fiber structure with a thick outer layer, providing elasticity and excellent durability. Igusa has properties such as air purification, humidity regulation, and resistance to dirt. The fabric surface has been treated with "Hiba essence," extracted from Hiba trees in 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 has antibacterial and deodorizing effects.) Both sides can be used, making it economical. *Please note that as this is a natural material and is processed by artisans one by one by hand, there may be variations in shape and slight differences from the stated size. Thank you for your understanding.
