From the perspective of health consciousness and global environmental conservation, Japan's unique culture of ``tatami'' is being reconsidered. In order to protect and pass on tatami culture, it is necessary to preserve the rush industry, which is the raw material for tatami. As an igusa manufacturer, we are working to pass on the igusa industry through igusa interiors.
Insole that incorporates the natural material “rush”
Rush is an excellent natural material that Japan is proud of, as it absorbs and releases moisture, acting like a natural air purifier.
We only use rushes grown in Kyushu. It grows with good quality air, water, and earth. Rush is the same as agricultural products, if grown in rich, nutritious soil, it grows into a sturdy, dense grass. Because it is used in places where you step on it every day, we were also particular about the materials.
Rush has a deodorizing effect and a humidity absorbing effect. It absorbs unpleasant odors such as aging odor and sweat.
50% of the raw materials for the nonwoven fabric on the back are recycled fibers made from recycled packaging films and other nonstandard products.
Linen is used for the hem.
