Traditional Japanese-style rooms have floors of tatami mats. The mats are made of straw and rush and consist of a thick base and a soft, smooth surface that covers the base. The thick base is made of dried straw that is packed and sewn, and the smooth surface of woven rush. The tatami mats are approximately 180 by 90 centimeters (6 feet by 3 feet) with a thickness of 6 centimeters (2.4 inches), but the size of the tatami mats varies in the different regions across Japan. As tatami mats have a standardized size, they can be used to measure room sizes. Then, one mat is referred to as 1 jo (ichi-jo) and the size of a six-mat room, for example, is expressed as 6 jo (roku-jo).

It is said that tatami mats have been used in Japan since the Heian period (A.D. 794 – A.D. 1191), but tatami mats were only placed where people sat. The rest of the floor was made of boards then. It was in the Muromachi period (A.D. 1333 – A.D. 1568) that people began to use tatami to cover the entire floor area. Even today, most Japanese houses have at least one traditional Japanese-style room, which is furnished with tatami mats, fusuma (paper-covered sliding doors), and shoji (sliding paper doors and windows).
The longer sides of the tatami are bordered with cloth. In the old days, the colors and patterns of the cloth depended on the status of the family, but people can chose their favorite colors and patterns freely today.
This product cut tatami mats small and produced for display. I used a non-slip cushioning sheet on the back.
You can enjoy Japanese interior space by laying tatami under Japanese dolls, vases, pottery, and Japanese accessories. By doing so, you can enjoy the Japanese culture of tatami more closely.
