King Size Tatami Mat

Tatami mats play an integral role in Japanese lifestyle. In Japan, the size of a room is said to be measured not in feet but in the number of tatami mats that can fit in it. These beautiful and durable mats are associated with tranquility, meditation, the martial arts and religious and tea ceremonies. They are also used in tameshigiri, which is the art of Japanese swordsmanship, and the martial art of judo. Most modern homes in Japan have at least one room that is covered with tatami mats. They call this room washitsu. If you wish to create an Asian themed look in your home, office or studio, our tatami mats are an ideal way to start. This king size tatami mat will cover a fairly large area of space in most rooms.
