Our tatami mats are made from the best parts found on the long soft rushes.
Soft rushes are harvested only once every year.
The quality of the harvested soft rushes varies with that year’s weather.
There are years which couldn’t produce a satisfying yield, while there are also years which provided us with an ample supply.
High-quality soft rushes are soft rushes which are long in size, with abundant grains of even quality, and bear bountiful fruits.
The surface of the tatami mats produced using these soft rushes will have an even color from edge to edge.
Once put into use, these tatami mats will beautifully tan itself from the fresh green color to the yellow color.
Soft rushes which are long but do not have abundant grains of even quality or bear bountiful fruits cannot be regarded as high-quality.
Soft rushes are plants which have white roots with a green head.
In addition, the roots of these plants are usually thick and thin out gradually closer to the head.
Our company’s tatami mats only employ the soft rushes which are over 130cm long.
Furthermore, the tatami mats are manufactured so that only the soft rushes’ middle parts, which are 82cm long got exposed to the surface.
We’ve received some photos from a customer who purchased eight pieces of standard square size 82cm tatami mats.
The bought tatami mats were laid out on wooden flooring. Our company’s tatami mats’ backs are manufactured so that they won’t slip on any surfaces.
Even when laid out on wooden floorings, these tatami mats won’t move away from their original positions after use as they are slip-resistance.
