Collection: Tatami mat -Washi Tatami-

Traditional Japanese-style rooms have floors of tatami mats. It is said that tatami mats have been used in Japan since the Heian period (A.D. 794 – A.D. 1191),
The original tatami is made of soft rushes, which feels smooth and never get damp. They are the ideal material for floors in Japanese houses as the humidity is high all year round due to the climate.
However it has disadvantages such as discolouration, wear, exposure to mites, uniformity in size and heavy weight. It is necessary to ask a tatami mat maker to change the surface periodically to keep them in good condition.
In order to solve this shortcoming, Washi tatami was developed by alternately weaving Japanese paper Washi coated with resin in the shape of strands.While maintaining the texture of rushes and the quality of natural materials, it has achieved a low impact on the human body and a high level of convenience. It is also available in a wide range of colours and can be ordered in small sizes.
