Everything You Need to Know About Our Tatami Mat
What is my tatami mat made from?

Materials vary between models. Some mats use traditional-style igusa rush, while others combine rattan or woven surfaces with foam layers for additional cushioning and insulation. Check the product specifications for the exact composition.

How many tatami tiles do I need?

Measure the length and width of the area you want to cover, then compare them with the dimensions of each tile. Drawing a simple floor plan can help you calculate the required number and avoid cutting or leaving unwanted gaps.

Can I place a futon directly on the tatami?

Yes, a tatami mat can create a more comfortable surface beneath a Japanese futon. Place it on a clean, dry and level floor, and air both the mat and futon regularly to prevent trapped moisture.

How do I clean and maintain a tatami mat?

Vacuum gently in the direction of the weave or use a soft brush. Wipe small marks with a barely damp cloth and dry the area immediately. Do not soak or machine-wash the mat unless the product instructions explicitly allow it.

Is Japanese decor a good gift?

It is a meaningful choice for anyone interested in Japan, interior design or objects that bring more personality to everyday spaces.

Yuki Sato, founder of Japanese Decor, in her washitsu workroom

Hi, I'm Yuki, founder of

A room changes when one object in it is right. Not a whole Japanese interior, and nothing that needs explaining: one lantern that softens the evening light, one bowl you actually eat from, one print on a wall you walk past every day. I choose every piece myself, and I keep only the ones that still look right after a month of ordinary use.

Every order leaves here wrapped by hand, with a note. If something arrives wrong, write to me and we will put it right.
