The thickness of a full-scale Japanese tatami mat, as defined by the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), is standardized as 55 to 60 mm. This is a firm tatami mat that is quite close to that thickness. (Real tatami is made entirely of rushes, even the material inside.)

It is quite difficult to send authentic Japanese tatami mats overseas due to cost and import restrictions, but this is the closest product within the range that can be realistically shipped by airmail.

  • 4 mats makes the area of 176 x 176 cm (69.2 x 69.2 in)
  • With six individual tatami mats, a single to queen size futon can be laid on top.
  • It is also ideal as a kotatsu mat.

 

How about creating a wonderful “Japanese-style corner” in your room?

Create a space with a Japanese mood by simply placing these unit tatami mats on the floor. The mat surface material is made from Japanese (Kyushu)-grown rush grass. Each strand of rush grass is thick, with a thick surface skin and fine fibers, resulting in outstanding elasticity and durability. Rush grass is a natural air purifier and humidity regulator.


It is firm and heavy, so it is more suitable for fixing in a certain place rather than carrying around. It can also be used as a kotatsu mat.

Natural Benefits of Rush Grass

  • Air Purification

    Rush grass naturally absorbs certain airborne substances, including formaldehyde, helping improve indoor air quality.

  • Humidity Regulation

    Rush grass absorbs excess moisture and perspiration, helping maintain a comfortable environment.


  • Natural Deodorizing Effect

    Rush grass helps reduce common household odors, including perspiration and ammonia-related odors.

Made with Rush grass sourced from Kyushu, Japan

Pure Japanese rush grass, grown with clean water and fresh air, has a distinct toughness and resilience compared to its imported counterparts.

Japanese-grown rush grass is known for its superior density, resilience, and durability compared to many imported alternatives.

The fibers are more tightly packed, making the material:

  • More elastic
  • More durable
  • More resistant to cracking
  • Longer lasting

Rush grass is a natural air purifier

Used for over 1500 years, rush grass is a material with an astonishing power. Not only does it absorb moisture on humid days, but also releases moisture during dry winter.

It is an excellent material for use in Japan's particular climate, which has all the four seasons.

With the advances in research, we have been able to identify many more beneficial effects of rush grass. The more we learn, the more it makes sense that people have been using it from ancient times.

Hiba Wood Treatment

This product is treated with natural Hiba wood extract sourced from Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

Using proprietary processing technology, Hiba essence is infused into the material. Hiba extract contains hinokitiol, a naturally occurring compound known for its antibacterial and deodorizing properties.

Compared with untreated products, the Hiba treatment helps maintain freshness while adding the pleasant, forest-like aroma characteristic of Hiba wood.

The natural scent of Hiba is often associated with the relaxing atmosphere of a forest retreat, enhancing the comfort of your living space.

Avoid long hours of direct sunlight, as it may cause fading or uneven color changes.
