You can refresh your Tatami room just by laying the overlay. Please use it as a cover to refresh tatami that has been tanned and to avoid staining new tatami. We use Japanese (Kyushu) rush mats about 110-115 cm long. About 91cm of it is used. The edges of the rush mats have a strong whitish tint. (This is not tanning, but the color of the base and tip of the rush grass.) The longer the rushes are, the higher the quality. The tips of the rushes are reddish brown, the base is white, and the center is blue (green). The more of the high-quality blue part in the middle is used, the stronger and more beautiful the finish will be. The more the blue part in the middle is used, the more beautiful and even the whole surface will be tanned and tasted. This product is finished with Itohiki weave, which is the same weaving method as Tatami-omote. Compared with twin-weave weaving, it is sturdier because more rushes are used. The smooth surface prevents the accumulation of dust. We recommend the Itohiki weave for those who want to use it for a long time and for those who are looking for durability. Domestic rush grass (produced in Kyushu) is used. Each strand of Japanese rush grass is thicker, with a thicker outer skin and finer fibers, making it more resilient and durable. Japanese rushes are also characterized by their ability to purify the air, regulate humidity, and resist staining. The rush grass is treated with hiba essence. (Antibacterial and deodorizing effect) It is economical because both sides can be used.
