IKEHIKO Igusa Rug, Made in Japan, Shirahama, Edo-style, 4.5 Tatami Mats (Approx. 261 x 261 cm), #1104034

This carefully crafted tatami mat is made with generous amounts of high-quality Japanese-grown rush grass. Simply lay it down to refresh your tatami room. Use it to refresh sun-damaged tatami or as a cover to protect new tatami mats from staining. It's made with 115-120cm long Japanese-grown (Kyushu) rush grass. Approximately 87cm of it is used. The edges will be slightly whiter. (This is not due to sun damage, but rather the color of the base and tip of the rush.) The longer the rush, the more luxurious it becomes. The tips of the rush grass are reddish-brown, the base is white, and the center is blue (green). The more of the high-quality blue grass used, the stronger and more beautiful the finish will be. While rush grass will tan over time, the more of the blue grass used will result in a more even tanning and a more refined flavor. Made with Japanese-grown (Kyushu) rush grass. Each strand of Japanese-grown rush grass is thick, with a thick outer skin and fine fibers, making it resilient and durable. Igusa grass is known for its air-purifying properties, humidity-regulating properties, and stain resistance. This igusa grass is treated with Aomori hiba (Japanese cypress) for antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Both sides can be used, making it economical.
