TATAMI YOGA: Feel nature through the soles of your feet
"Igusa" grass, the raw material for tatami mats, is a natural material that has been popular in Japan since ancient times. It has high moisture absorption and release properties, creating a comfortable space regardless of the season. It has been proven that "Igusa" has various effects such as a good night's sleep, antibacterial effects, and the absorption effect of formaldehyde, but the "Tatami Yoga Mat" was created with a particular focus on the relaxing effect of "Igusa".
Not only can you feel the power of nature under your feet and feel one with nature even indoors, but the natural aromatic properties of the "igusa" grass have a soothing effect, providing an extremely relaxing effect during yoga and in the final Shavasana (Corpse Pose).
Even if you sweat, the fabric has high moisture absorption and release properties, so it stays dry and comfortable, yet still has just the right amount of grip to stick to your skin.
Made with high-quality Japanese rush grass. High durability not found in foreign products.
The "Tatami Yoga Mat" is made with a focus on using Japanese-made rush grass.
In Japan, there are farmers and producers who have been cultivating "igusa" for a long time, so they are able to produce high-quality "igusa". Kyushu in particular is very famous as a production area of "igusa", and has been shipping high-quality "igusa" for many years.
The crucial difference between overseas and Japanese "igusa" is how it is dried. Tatami mats produced overseas are loaded onto container ships and imported to Japan across the ocean.
In order to prevent mold from growing, the rush grass is dried to the utmost extent possible. This means that the rush grass has little moisture and its outer skin tends to become relatively weak.
Japanese "igusa" is more durable, elastic, and soft to the touch than that produced overseas, so it can be used for a long time and is comfortable to use.
Beautiful design that blends in with your interior
Many people may feel uncomfortable leaving their yoga mat out, but the "Tatami Yoga Mat" has a beautiful gradient design, so one of its charms is that it can be used as an interior decoration mat.
By laying it on the floor like a rug, you can easily create a Japanese atmosphere on your flooring. This is especially recommended for rooms without tatami mats.
