The history of tatami mat edges can be traced directly to Japan’s tatami culture.
Kurashiki City’s Kojima area is the source of roughly 80% of Japan’s tatami mat edge fabrics,
making the area home to globally exclusive techniques.
Even though advances in weaving polyethylene and polypropylene have come about,
traditional cotton weaving methods are inherited from cotton thread-making.
The edges are carefully aligned by the experts operating
the machines in order to create a refined product.
