Product Description
Simply laying this top mat can refresh your tatami room. It is suitable for refreshing tatami that has become sun-bleached, and can be used as a cover to prevent dirt on new tatami. It uses long domestic (Kyushu-produced) igusa, over 120 cm in length. Approximately 92 cm of this is used. It is a high-quality product made from long igusa with fewer white parts at the border edge. (The white parts are not due to sunburn; they are the color of the base and tip of the igusa.) Longer igusa is considered more luxurious. The tips of the igusa are reddish-brown, the base is white, and the middle is blue (green). The more high-quality blue parts used in the middle, the more durable and beautiful the finish. Although igusa will develop a sun-bleached appearance over time, those with more blue in the middle tend to age evenly and attractively, developing a rich patina.
This product is woven with the same weaving method as tatami mats, called thread-drawn weaving. Compared to double-loom weaving, it has a higher density of igusa threads, making it more durable. Its smooth surface makes it less likely to accumulate dust. For those who want long-lasting use or durability, thread-drawn weaving is recommended. It uses domestic (Kyushu-produced) igusa, which is thicker, has a thicker epidermis, and finer fibers, making it elastic and highly durable.
Igusa has air purification properties, humidity regulation, and is resistant to dirt, making it a beneficial material. It has been treated with Aomori Hiba (Japanese cypress) for antibacterial and deodorizing effects. Both sides can be used, making it economical.
