The tatami is originally made by weaving a plant called "Igusa (soft rush)."Since it originates from plants, inevitably, tatami will have somewhat of a varied quality. Picture on the aboveleft. It is easy to see that the color and thickness of each and every weave is different for the IgusaTatami. In addition to that, since it is made from plants, there are cases where some countries prohibit the import of igusa tatami or require a quarantine inspection.
The tatami offered in our store is woven using a very sturdy traditional Japanese paper called "Washi." This type of tatami is called a "Washi Tatami."
The visual and the texture of the washi tatami is no different from igusa tatami, and since the washi tatami is manufactured in a factory, the quality is uniform and there is no need for the hassle with quarantine inspections.
In addition to that, each and every strand of the washi is coated, and so the durability and its ability to repel water of the washi tatami is incomparable with the igusa tatami. Not only that, the washi tatami has a rich color variation and is mold and mite free; certainly a tatami worth calling special.
