Have you ever placed a chest of drawers in a newly built Japanese-style room, moved it for the first time in a long time, and been surprised to find that there are clear marks left behind? This is due to the nature of rushes that get sunburned. A Japanese-style room with uneven coloring is uncool... However, replacing the tatami mats seems difficult and expensive. At such times, ``Igusa overlay'' can refresh your Japanese-style room by simply laying it down.

If you notice fading or tanning, you can quickly flip it over and use it again. There is no need to buy a new one, so it is very economical.

When folded neatly, it becomes compact, so you can store it without taking up much space. *It will arrive in this condition when delivered.

Benefits of sleeping 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.

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.

Do note that the whitish color is not defective, it is the color of the grass roots.
