Experience Authentic Japanese Quality
Elevate your interior design with our beautiful, green and blue brocade trimmed tatami mat. This mat brings the exceptional standard of Japanese quality into your home, instantly defining a space with its natural comfort and striking aesthetic.
This mat features a patterned, traditional green and blue brocade trim (Heri), featuring a classic geometric motif. This vibrant design provides a beautiful, traditional contrast to the natural rush surface, making it an exquisite feature mat for any room or tea ceremony space. This trim is available in both our standard mats and our bed-sized mats.
Quality Construction for Australian Living
We specialise in genuine Japanese products and high-quality traditional items. Our tatami mats are built for durability and comfort, sourced from Kumamoto, Japan. They are quality everyday mats, made for regular use in Australian homes, rather than the top-grade specialist mats that sell for very high prices in Japan.
- Surface: The visible top layer (Omote) is woven from igusa rush grass, providing that unique, clean scent and textured grip. The material is cleaned and disinfected without harmful chemicals.
- Core: At a substantial 5cm thickness, the core (Toko) offers superior insulation, helping to keep your space cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The modernised kiln process makes the mats more mould resistant and lighter without compromising quality.
- Underside: The underside of each mat is lined with igusa off-cuts, or igusa not suitable for the top surface, instead of a synthetic backing, which reduces the amount of plastic in the mat. This gives the underside a rough, natural finish, which is normal for traditional tatami.
- Humidity: Tatami is known for its ability to naturally absorb and regulate humidity in a room.
Using Tatami With a Futon
If you would like to sleep on a futon over tatami, our bed-sized mats are made to complement our Japanese futons. Our standard mats are not suitable as a base for a futon on their own. If you choose standard mats for this, we recommend a framed setup of at least three mats. Larger setups also work well, such as our 4½ mat tea house layouts.
The Japanache Difference: Japanese Antiques & Décor
Japanache is a Japanese-Australian family business. We import our tatami from Kumamoto and our futons from Shikoku, and we've been doing it since 2005. Read our story here.
