Japanese tatami continues to gain appreciation worldwide, and recently we received an inspiring photo and a customer survey from a resident in Castle Rock, Colorado who purchased our Tokyo Wasabi Green 9-Mat Set. When we saw the image, we noticed a charming maneki-neko, a miniature folding screen, a tray prepared for matcha, and vintage Asian-style calendars from the 1990s. These details instantly suggested that the customer has a deep love for Asian aesthetics, and the room radiates a warm sense of harmony.

A Look at the Colorado Tatami Room
The Tokyo Wasabi Green mats brighten beautifully under natural sunlight. The simple black meditation cushion, the matcha set, and the modest folding screen blend naturally with the tatami texture. Additionally, the hardwood flooring creates a gentle contrast, making the tatami stand out as the room’s central feature.
This serene setting is ideal for reading, relaxing, meditation, or tea time. As a result, the room feels both personal and welcoming.

What Makes the TOKYO Series Special
The tatami mats used in this room are part of our TOKYO Series, featuring MIGUSA tatami-omote, a modern material made from durable polypropylene combined with moisture-absorbing inorganic fibers. Although made with synthetic components, MIGUSA is environmentally considerate and does not emit dioxins or harmful chemicals when disposed of.

Compared to natural igusa, MIGUSA is exceptionally durable, slow to fade even in bright rooms, and resistant to mold and mites. Furthermore, because the surface is treated with a water-repellent finish, everyday cleaning is incredibly easy—spilled coffee can be wiped away in seconds. Importantly, the mats maintain a similar cushioning and non-slip texture to traditional igusa, making them safe for children and seniors.
Key Features of the TOKYO Series
- Long-lasting color
Retains vibrancy far longer than natural igusa and resists fading in sunlight. - Water-repellent, easy to maintain
Dirt and liquids can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. - Safe and non-toxic
Contains no formaldehyde or harmful emissions linked to sick building syndrome. - Cushioned and slip-resistant
Its sponge-like structure absorbs impact and prevents slipping.
With a variety of color options, the TOKYO Series harmonizes beautifully with many interior styles—modern, minimal, or traditional.
