It is completely normal for the color of the tatami mats to change [over time].

The surface of the tatami mats are made from plant material.

The rush straw starts out green, but with normal use the color gradually changes.

After 2-3 years, it will change to an all golden color.

Tatami is a type of matting that can be enjoyed as it changes with aging.

The tatami mats can have a long life of use if they are set to avoid direct sunlight and there is moderate ventilation.

If the tatami mats are used in a room with strong direct sunlight, the color will change quickly and the color will turn darker. The use of curtains to avoid direct sunlight or placement in the shade will help to ensure that you end up with beautiful golden colored tatami mats.
