TOKYO SERIES
This series uses MIGUSA tatamiomote, which is made from a combined balance of durable polypropylene and a natural inorganic material (moisture absorbing calcium carbonate) that has a natural texture. While this tatami uses an inorganic material as a base, with consideration to the environment it does not emit dioxin or any other toxic substance when burned or disposed of.
Compared to natural igusa, MIGUSA is strong, durable, and does not fade as easily. It has also been treated with water repellent and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
Unlike with igusa, mites and mold are not a problem. MIGUSA is also not as slippery and has the same amount of cushioning as igusa.
Available in various colors, these mats can work with any interior, adding to the atmosphere.
