Tatami
mats
(畳)
are woven straw mat used in traditional and modern Japanese
homes. Tatami are made in
individual mats of uniform size and shape, bordered by
plain black cloth (#1) or
Gold & Black Plum Pattern (#12).
In the Japanese home, tatami mats are used as
a surface for sitting, sleeping and walking.
Our Tatami factory specializes in
manufacturing tatami series products, all the
equipments are shipped from Japan, and all the
professional technicians have been trained in
Japan.
The floor in a traditional Japanese room is
covered with tatami, mats made of hard-packed straw
covered with woven rushes. In the Heian period
(794-1191), tatami mats were luxury goods used by
emperors, nobles, religious leaders and high-ranking
officials. In those days tatami were placed only where
people sat. From the Muromachi period (1338-1549) they
began to be used to cover the whole floor.
There are three different parts to tatami: the
reed or rush cover, the straw core and the decorative
cloth edging. In Japanese these are the tatami omote,
tatami goto and the tatami beri. The tatami omote is
made of a soft reed and each tatami needs about 4,000 to
5,000 rushes. Hemp or cotton string is then used to
weave the omote together. To make the tatami goto or
straw core, 40cm of straw is crushed to just 5cm.
Finally, cloth is used to border the mats on the long
sides. The color of these tatami beri was used to show
the rank of the individual household that owned the
tatami. If a pattern is woven into the tatami beri, much
care is taken to make the pattern continuous where the
tatami border each other.
The size of a Japanese room is measured in
tatami, as a traditional tatami had a more or less fixed
size. A standard tatami measures about 90cm by 180 cm.
Tatami can be fitted in different ways in a room, but
number and layout of tatami can bring good or bad
fortune. Tatami should not be laid in grid patterns, for
example, as this will bring bad luck. The only time this
layout can be used is during mourning. Many Japanese
shops are designed to be the size of four and half
tatami, as this will ensure good fortune, whatever the
kind of business it is.
Tatami are very effective at absorbing heat. And
they absorb a lot of water from the air. If the
atmosphere is dry, the water will evaporate again.
Tatami are made of soft reed and according to
traditional Chinese medicine this will calm the spirit,
relax the body and soothe the mind. Whatever the health
benefits, a room with fresh tatami smells wonderful and
is very pleasant in Japanese
summer.

HOW TO CARE FOR TATAMI MATS
Please remember to keep tatami dry to
avoid possible mildew of grass from humidity. Do not use wet
cleaners if possible. It is recommended to bring tatami mats out
every 4 months to dry in the hot sun if possible. If the home is
damp invest in a product like a dehumidifier to
protect the tatami. One can freshen and protect by
lightly dusting the mats with some cornstarch. Just
like a mattress, rotate periodically. And remember
never to walk on the tatami with shoes
