Description:
This is a tatami mat cover made from 100% igusa (Japanese rush) grown with reduced pesticide cultivation in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture.
Features:
* Compared to regular igusa, it has superior durability and elasticity, and the characteristic green color of igusa lasts longer.
* Even when sun-faded, it changes to a beautiful amber color.
* It has the ability to absorb nitrogen dioxide, which causes air pollution, and also works effectively to regulate room humidity.
Simply laying this cover over your tatami room will refresh it. Use it to refresh sun-faded tatami or as a cover to protect new tatami from getting dirty.
This product uses domestic igusa (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture, a region known for igusa production) of JAS Class 1 (top class tatami facing) with a length of 130cm or more, which is typically used for tatami facing.
The carefully selected, high-quality, thick, and long igusa is woven at high density, making it durable, long-lasting, and comfortably voluminous against the skin. Approximately 85cm of the 130cm length is used.
This is a high-quality product that uses long igusa, resulting in less white at the edges. (The white parts are not sun-fading; they are the colors of the root and tip of the igusa.)
Longer igusa is considered higher quality. Igusa has a reddish-brown tip, a white root, and a green middle section. Using more of the good quality green middle section results in a stronger and more beautiful finish. Also, as igusa ages and fades from the sun, products that use more of the middle green section will fade evenly and beautifully, developing a unique character.
This product is finished with Itobiki-ori (braided weave), the same weaving method used for tatami facing. Compared to Somoku-ori (plain weave), it is more durable due to the higher number of igusa strands woven in. Its smooth surface makes it resistant to dust accumulation. We recommend Itobiki-ori for those who want to use it for a long time or require durability.
It uses domestic igusa (from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture). Domestic igusa strands are thick, with a thick epidermis and fine fibers, providing elasticity and excellent durability. Igusa has air-purifying and humidity-regulating properties, and is resistant to dirt.
The fabric surface has been treated with "Hiba Essence," extracted from Hiba trees in Aomori Prefecture, using the manufacturer's unique technology. Hiba Essence contains hinokitiol, a natural substance with extremely high antibacterial properties. (It has antibacterial and deodorizing effects compared to untreated products.)
Both sides of the product can be used, making it economical.
*Please note that as this is a natural material and each piece is handcrafted by artisans, there may be variations in shape and slight differences from the stated size. We appreciate your understanding.
