2 We use the best quality of “Tatami-omote”(tatami facing)
We pursue the best quality of tatami-omote among the high quality tatami-omote made in Japan.
We use only tatami omote (Igusa) made in Japan.
80% of tstsmi-omote bought and sold in the market now is made in China. Among the rest, 20% of the whole products, we select the best of the best tatami-omote made in Yatsushiro region in the Kumamoto prefecture, the largest producer of tatami-omote by buying the best Igusa at the time directly from the Igusa farmer there.
As for Japan made Igusa, there are big differences in quality between high-quality Igusa and Low-quality ones.
That is why the good ability to see through the difference in quality of variety of Igusa made in the same area is necessary.
3 We select the best “Wara-toko” (straw bed)
We only select the high-quality traditional wara-toko made in Banshu region.
Wara-toko is the bed for tatami, 100% made of straw.
These days, Kenzai-toko, wooden board artificially made is widely used. We, however, highly recommend to have tatami using wara-toko (straw bed), which is comfortable when touching, abele to condition the humidness of the room, and is with high durability.“Tatami lasting for hundred years” require this wara-toko. In addition, we only use the No.1 producer, Banshu-toko (made in Banshu region in the Hyogo prefecture).
In case wara-toko may not suitable depending on the living environment or the way of usage, we can offer the best choice from Kenzai-toko or other options. Please do not hesitate to ask us, who have great choice.
