Frequently Asked Questions
Tatami mats are traditional Japanese flooring mats, typically made of woven rush grass around a rice straw core. They are integral to traditional Japanese homes and are known for their distinctive aroma and feel. They come in standard sizes, which can vary by region.
Tatami mat sizes historically varied by region in Japan, reflecting different architectural standards and measurement systems. For example, Kyo-ma (Kyoto size) is larger than Edo-ma (Tokyo size), which in turn differs from Chuukyo-ma (Nagoya) and Danchi-ma (standard for modern apartments).
For accurate results, measure the usable length and width of your room from wall to wall. It's best to measure in meters and use a tape measure that can stretch across the entire dimension to avoid errors. Consider any alcoves or structural elements that might affect the mat layout.
