"Mesh Clean" allows for humidity control by circulating air beneath the tatami mats. This effect prevents mold from growing on the underside of the tatami and reduces the presence of dust mites that thrive in humidity. You can use your preferred tatami surface as long as it is made of woven material, enabling the creation of a healthy space without affecting the design of your room. This tatami mat regulates humidity without moisture when vacuumed slowly. This technology won the Grand Prize at the "Shimano Manufacturing Awards 2020"! 【Feature 1】 The vacuum cleaner draws up the moisture accumulated beneath the tatami through many "holes" and the tatami surface. The key is the "holes" in the core material and the "conical special material" on the underside of the tatami! No need for the hassle of drying tatami mats. 【Feature 2】 This is a porous tatami that penetrates the core material and is designed to absorb shock. Multiple through-holes are arranged in a matrix pattern, allowing for deformation in the horizontal direction in addition to vertical compression when a load is applied, thereby enhancing shock absorption. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Please take a look at the case studies showcasing the Japanese special tatami, which has its roots in a long-established tatami shop with 60 years of history, creating beautiful Japanese spaces! We feature popular items such as the Judo Club Story, Gold and Silver, Ultra Clean Rakusuke, and Child-Rearing Tatami. ■ Judo Club Story This is a tatami mat specifically designed for judo, pursuing safety, cleanliness, and comfort.

The traditional Japanese dyeing technique known as Yuzen-zome allows for a variety of expressions by using "color paste." The Yuzen tatami "Gold and Silver" applies this dyeing technique to create a tatami surface in gold and silver that is highly resistant to fading. The colors are expressed by mixing color paste into each piece of washi tatami. ■ Child-Rearing Tatami This tatami is developed for families with children and early childhood education and care settings.

"Mesh Clean" can circulate (suck up) the moisture under tatami mats. By creating 720 porous holes in the tatami base material and using a special slatted material with approximately 24,000 protrusions on the underside, it establishes a gap between the floorboards, allowing it to draw in the air that is stagnant beneath the floor. This effectively removes the trapped moisture under the tatami mats. In the video, you can see how the dense smoke in the aquarium is quickly sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. This is how moisture can be absorbed through the tatami. Additionally, under the theme of "Protecting tradition with a proactive attitude. Developing functional tatami that contributes to a healthy and comfortable lifestyle," four members of our company received the Excellence Award at the 8th Monozukuri Nippon Grand Award. [Features: No Moisture] The vacuum cleaner sucks up the moisture accumulated under the tatami through many "holes" and the tatami surface along with the air. The key is the "holes" in the core material and the "mesh material" on the underside of the tatami! It prevents the growth of dust mites and mold that thrive in moisture, improving the environment. You won't have to worry about the hassle of drying tatami mats anymore.
