Igusa carpet covers the tatami mats in Japanese rooms and prevents dirt and scratches.
Two types of back sides to suit different uses
Grass type on the back side:
It is a single piece of rush fabric, and the back and front sides are the same rush fabric. Recommended for use on top of your own rug or in a tatami room.
Back side non-woven fabric type:
The back side is treated with non-woven fabric burrs, making it difficult to damage the flooring and has a non-slip effect, making it recommended for use in Western- style rooms.
Benefits of rush:
Clean the air
The inside of a rush has a honeycomb structure similar to a sponge, which has a large surface area. Therefore, when rushes breathe, they absorb nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde from the air, purifying the air.
Deodorizing ability
It reduces the causative substances (ammonia, acetic acid, isovaleric acid, indole, trimethylamine, nonenal, pyridine, etc.) that cause sweat odor, aging odor, pet odor, cigarette odor, etc. that occur in daily life, and reduces bad odors.
Humidity control effect
Rush has an extremely high humidity regulating ability for a natural material. It has the ability to absorb moisture from the air when it is humid and release moisture when it is dry.
Relax
It is said that ``Tatami is the forest inside the room.'' Rush contains aromatic components of wood and has a healing effect similar to forest bathing. It has been confirmed that children who study in a tatami space can maintain their concentration and improve their grades.
Unlike regular carpet, it does not have piles, so dirt and hair do not get tangled in it, making it easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner or roller (adhesive sheet).
Hiba essence processing
Hiba Essence, extracted from Hiba trees in Aomori Prefecture, is extracted and sprayed using the manufacturer's proprietary technology. A natural substance called hinokitiol contained in Hiba essence has extremely high antibacterial properties.
Custom processing is possible, we will cut the size according to the shape of your room.
Rush is a natural material, so it is easier to cut than chemical materials. If the weaving system breaks in the middle of the machine during weaving, the part you want to cut may pop out, as shown in the photo on the right. This is not a defect, but a phenomenon called "breakage". If you cut the breakage with scissors or nail clippers, you can use it as is.
