Tatami mat
Hinoki tatami mat
Manufacturer:Hidaforest co,ltd
Design:Hidaforest co, ltd
Price:28,000 yen
Tatami mats lined with sliced
cypress chips (a by-product of forest thinning) completely
eliminate the use of chemical products. Utilizing the natural
antibacterial and insect repellent properties of the Japanese
cypress to prevent fleas, mold and other outbreaks, these
mats are superior to traditional mats made with straw and
chemical products, which absorb and emit moisture. Cypress
oil repels insects and provides a solution to the household
infection. The use of throwaway products from thinned cypress
trees and transformation of scrap wood that is resistant to
natural decomposition not only results in zero emissions,
but also helps motivate those working in forestry. The relaxing
smell of cypress means these tatami mats are both people-
and environment-friendly. The designers were commended for
their careful attention to the entire process, covering every
step from product development to after it has become part
of the user's daily life.
