TATAMI ＜Natural＞

An okidatami mat edged in leather — Japanese luxury for the modern room Place it anywhere — a living room, a bedroom — and that space becomes Japanese A substantial, authentic tatami that lifts the whole room Tatami borders have been woven from cotton and hemp thread for centuries We used leather instead, for a design at home in a contemporary space ■ Leather border The four edges are bound in the same Himeji steer leather we use for our shoes Leather tanned with plant-based tannins, gaining depth and lustre with use A certified eco-leather, produced with reduced harmful emissions (cowhide) The leather wrapping the four sides is 7.5cm wide. About 3.2 metres for the 70cm square, about 4 metres for the 88cm square ■ Four layers Igusa makes the touch and the scent. The three layers beneath make the way it feels to sit • Igusa 2mm Grown in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto, in the ni-ni-me weave The layer your skin meets: it absorbs moisture, holds down odour, and gives off its scent • Urethane 3mm The layer that softens the impact of sitting down The hardness of the floor never reaches you directly • Insulation board 15mm Japanese calm lives in a flat plane. A 15mm core that allows neither warp nor sag Insulation, literally — the cold of a winter floor stays out of your feet • Non-woven fabric 2mm Protects the floor, stops the mat sliding, covers the fasteners underneath It stays put without being fitted in ■ What igusa does Six mats' worth can hold up to about 1.8 litres of water, and release it as they dry It absorbs about 2.5 times as much moisture as cotton — crisp through the rainy season, never too dry in winter It reduces nitrogen dioxide by 98% and harmful substances such as formaldehyde by 78% The scent is mainly phytoncide — the same compound as a walk in the forest It regulates humidity. It cleans the air. It settles you with its scent Igusa has also been reported to have antibacterial properties ■ Two colours With Natural, time decides the colour Undyed igusa from Yatsushiro. Igusa normally goes through a clay-dyeing process, but this was woven just as it was cut From a green with blue in it to amber, in six months to a year With Navy, a person decides the colour Clay-dyed igusa from Yatsushiro, dyed deep blue by a specialist igusa dyer The dye adjusted to how much moisture each fibre holds A colour that shifts, and a colour set as deep and final as indigo Place the two side by side and the difference becomes the pattern of your floor ■ Two sizes The 70cm square is a place for one Sit down and it is exactly one person's worth. In front of a sofa, beside a bed, by a window The 88cm square is the centre of a room Wide enough for two to sit side by side. The same dimensions as a half-mat in the Edoma standard ■ About Yatsushiro Kumamoto Prefecture grows about 90% of Japan's igusa, and Yatsushiro is its centre The igusa in this product was grown there Our work only exists because the region does We donate 5% of sales from this product to igusa farmers in Yatsushiro, who have been hit by repeated disasters in 2025 and 2026 ＞ The region and our donation ■ Made in Japan Igusa from Yatsushiro, leather from Himeji, Japanese artisanship Shaped with meticulous attention to every detail From Nature To Style 【Materials】 • Tatami facing: Igusa grown in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto (ni-ni-me weave) 　Natural = undyed igusa / Navy = clay-dyed igusa, then dyed • Border: Himeji Leather (cowhide, vegetable-tanned, certified eco-leather), 30mm visible width • Core: urethane / insulation board • Backing: non-woven fabric 【Sizing】 • 70cm square (700 × 700 × 22mm thick) approx. 2.4kg • 88cm square (880 × 880 × 22mm thick) approx. 3.7kg 【Care】 • Vacuum along the grain of the weave, and wipe with a dry cloth 【Country of Origin】 • Japan 【Buy two, save more】 • 5% off when you buy two or more.
