Introduction of tatami technology

Traditional handicrafts

Traditionally, tatami is woven from rushes and tied with straw. Recently, foam plastics have also been used. There is a uniform standard for the shape and size of tatami, which is bound with tapestry or black cloth. In the era when most Japanese lived in houses with land, tatami was a luxury enjoyed by wealthy families because some materials needed to be imported. Moreover, the traditional tatami is plain tatami with no pattern on the surface.

Modern craft

Modern tatami is made of high-quality straw with advanced Japanese technology and equipment. After high-temperature fumigation and disinfection, it is pressed into semi-finished products, sewn by hand, covered with natural mats, and wrapped with decorative ribbons on both sides to make finished products. A good quality tatami weighs about 30 kilograms. The tatami just made is grass green. If it is used for a long time, it will turn into bamboo yellow due to oxidation in the sun, and it is also very beautiful. Tatami consists of three layers, the bottom layer is insect-proof paper, the middle layer is straw mat, and the top layer is rush mat, with cloth on both sides, and the edges are generally traditional Japanese patterns. The standard thickness of tatami is 3.3 cm and 5.5 cm.
