Igusa Tatami Placemat L
These beautiful tatami placemats are made of high-quality igusa, Japanese rush, accented by chic tatami-beri “ribbon borders” in a series of traditional patterns and colors. This size, the Large, is perfect for table settings of Japanese ichiju-sansai and Western meals alike. The reeds are treated with a water-repellant solution, aiding with cleanup of spills.
The natural igusa gives these placemats a soothing, grassy scent that cannot be replicated by any other material. That plus the gorgeous woven texture and natural color—which slowly matures to a golden yellow over time—make these placemats truly special items, evoking nostalgic days relaxing on the tatami mats of a cozy, traditional Japanese home.
The ribbon borders come in three colors: hemp leaf green, well-suited to a large variety of Japanese tableware; sakura pink, delightful with delicate dishes; and yabane “arrow feather” blue, a wonderful accent to plates that are on the larger side or feature bold patterns. Mix and match colors, or pair with coasters and more from our tatami series: the styling is up to you.
