About the product
Igusa (rush grass), the material used to make tatami, is a natural material that is perfect for humid and hot weather. We wanted more people to know about this material, which has excellent functions such as humidity control, air purification, adsorption of bad odours, stain resistance, and flame retardance, and created a beautifully designed rug that fits in with modern life and gives peace of mind.
[Comfortable spaces with Igusa!]Due to the high density of the internal fibres, it has functions such as humidity regulation, air purification, adsorption of malodorous substances, stain resistance, and flame resistance. Compared to fur rugs, they are easier to vacuum and otherwise maintain, and are easier to keep clean as they do not get tangled up with debris. They can be easily kept clean by vacuuming along the weave of the rush grass. To prevent slipping even when laid on wooden flooring, the reverse side is covered with a non-slip non-woven fabric. It can be laid in living rooms and children's rooms for a comfortable stay with the pleasant aroma of rush grass.[Beautiful design]
Tatami mats are usually green in colour and designed to look like a 'Japanese-style room', but this product has been devised with a unique design to fit in with modern Western-style rooms. The design expresses the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, where the manufacturer, Hagihara, is based, and is sure to bring you peace of mind. In addition, the four edges are made of Kurashiki canvas. It is characterised by its sturdiness and rich texture. -Nagi:
The motif is the calm and beautiful sea of the Seto Inland Sea. The surface of the water glistening in the sunlight is expressed by the weave of the rush grass. It is available in two colours: blue for the daytime sea and brown for the sunset. -Honami:
Ears of rice bathed in the sun and shining in golden colours is the motif of the design. It expresses the autumn landscape with ears of rice ripening and swaying in the wind. -Kuranoto:
The chequered pattern expresses the process of growing up rice fields of rushes, which are carefully cultivated by the producers. The three phases - tilling the soil, planting the seedlings, and harvesting the fruit - are represented by the shades of colour. It is available in two colours: beige, inspired by the cotton fields, and blue, incorporating the colours of the water surface and sky in the rice paddies.
The functional material with a light and pleasant touch is perfect for use in living rooms and children's rooms. Tatami rugs with materials and designs that give a sense of nature are perfect for lying down and reading a book, or enjoying a relaxing evening drink on a weekend night. Enjoy a restful moment!

*Colour-fastening treatment has been applied, but due to the natural material, the colour may fade.
*Due to the nature of the material, there may be slight variations in size.
*Due to the nature of the material, please do not use carpet shampoo or detergent.
*Due to the natural material, mould may occur depending on the conditions of use. Do not use in damp areas such as bathrooms.*Because it is a natural material, wisps may occur where the grass breaks off and short sections pop up to the surface. This is characteristic of rush grass and is not a defect. Do not pull it out by force, but cut it from the root with scissors.
*The roots and tips of the rushes have a lighter colour. The colour may appear lighter at the ends where they are woven and in the middle of the rug where they are joined together. The colour may look faded, but this is not a defect, but is due to the natural properties of the rush grass.
*Direct sunlight can cause sunburn and discolouration, so please use the rug out of direct sunlight.
*The product is delivered folded, so it will have a crease immediately after opening. The product will become more comfortable as it is used, and the creases will disappear after approximately 2~3 months. Care Precautions
1. Before use, wipe the surface lightly with a dry cloth. Do not wipe strongly or wipe with a wet cloth as this may cause discolouration. Use in strong direct sunlight is not recommended. It may cause sunburn and discolouration. 2. Use in humid areas may cause the formation of mould. It is recommended to open the windows from time to time for ventilation. If mould should develop, dry in the shade and then sweep with a soft brush. (Drying in direct sunlight can cause sunburn and discolouration.) If juice, coffee or other spills occur, wipe with a dry cloth. The backing may stick to the floor if it is left laid on the floor for a long period of time. Occasionally shift the area where it is used, dry it in the shade or lift the edges to allow air to flow through. When used in slippery areas, we recommend using a slip-resistant pad. 3. When storing, we recommend that the surface is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, dried in the shade, and stored in a dry, dark place with low humidity.
About the maker
Hagihara Corporation was founded in 1892 as Hagihara Fuichi Shoten, mainly engaged in the manufacture of hana-goza (Igusa mat), an export product for the USA, which was then flourishing in Okayama prefecture. Since then, we have worked together with rushes through the pre-war and post-war waves of the times, and in our 130-year history, we have continued to value the spirit of challenge and the desire to be unique.
Igusa (tatami rush) is a traditional material that has been used in Japan for more than 1,000 years, but in recent years, as Japanese life has become increasingly westernised, the opportunities for using rush grass have been declining. As industrialisation has progressed, employment has shifted from agriculture to industry, and the number of farmers growing rush grass has also decreased.
However, rush grass has been beloved for a thousand years for reasons. We have been developing this product because we believe that its functionality and the comforting touch of natural material can be conveyed if it is made to fit in with the way we live today. We are happy if this product, which is the result of the thoughts and techniques we have inherited because we have been in the rush grass business, can create a comfortable and restful space in your home.
