These five placemats are made from the same tatami material that floor mats in Japan are made from.  They are a woven sage green and brown/tan and have a decorative tape edge.  These were made for us during a trip to Japan in 2001 and there are 5 because the Japanese believe that all five senses should be used when eating and all dining is sold in five.  They have only been used a couple of times...in very good condition.  Each placemat measures 15.5" x 11".
