Product Description
This is a unique tatami mat cover (only on the edges) with a checkered pattern. Simply laying this cover refreshes your tatami room. Use it to refresh tatami that has been discolored by sunlight, or as a cover to protect new tatami 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 covers uninspired and desire a more luxurious option. Uses domestic (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture, a region famous for igusa) igusa approximately 110-115 cm in length. Approximately 88 cm of this length is used. Normally, the edges of the igusa are strongly whitish. (This is not sun-discoloration, but the color of the root and tip of the igusa.) This characteristic, where the root and tip 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 portion. The center part will be plain.) Longer igusa is considered higher quality. Igusa has a reddish-brown tip, a white root, and a green middle section. Uses domestic (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture) igusa. Domestic igusa is thick, has a dense fiber structure with a thick outer skin, providing excellent elasticity and durability. Igusa has properties such as air purification, humidity regulation, and is resistant to dirt. The fabric surface has been treated with "Hiba essence," extracted from Aomori Hiba trees, using the manufacturer's proprietary technology. Hiba essence contains a natural substance called hinokitiol, which has 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 hand by artisans, there may be variations in shape and slight differences from the stated size. Thank you for your understanding.
