Introducing the charm of

Sekisui MIGUSA tatami mats.

Tatami Mats: A Culture Unique to Japan Sitting on the floor is a style familiar to all Japanese people, and it introduces a new form of stimulation and relaxation to everyday lifestyles.

Sitting on tatami mats is a traditional custom in the Japanese lifestyle.

Removing one’s shoes at the door, and sitting and sleeping on the floor. This style of life called “yukaza” is a traditional culture dating back to ancient times of Japan.

Sitting, stretching out one’s legs and laying back on tatami mats provide a sense of comfort that is not available with wooden flooring. Sitting on the floor lowers the line of sight and makes the ceiling feel much higher, which enhances the sense of relaxation. As chairs are not required, the advantages of living close to the floor provide a style of flexibility, especially when a large number of guests are visiting.

One of the charms of tatami is its texture. The moisture-absorbing capabilities of tatami mats provide a unique level of comfort that is born from a pleasant texture and a sense of warmth.

Lifestyles incorporating tatami mats provide gentleness and comfort.

The main features of Sekisui’s MIGUSA tatami mats are that they are gentle on the skin and are very tightly-woven.

These provide a pleasant level of springiness and suitable level of moisture-absorption that is very gentle to the human body.

There is no need to worry about mites or mold, so even small children and people with allergies can use them without anxiety.

Sekisui’s MIGUSA are tatami mats that retain the same pleasant skin sensation and moisture-absorption capabilities of regular tatami mats while providing additional durability, safety and other functions. This enables the comfort of tatami mats to be easily enjoyed.

Resistant to water and soiling, and easy to keep clean.

Sekisui’s MIGUSA tatami mats are made of a specially-developed resin, which not only makes them water-resistant and durable, but also enables them to be used for a long time owing to their resistance to scratching, soiling and color fading. Simply wipe them clean in the event of juice, coffee or any other water-based liquid being spilled on them. They are 83cm square in size, which makes them easy to carry around and easy to store away when not in use.

A wide variety of colors has been used for Tatami mats since olden times in Japan, and these delicate colors have attracted the attention of the world and charmed people into feeling affectionate toward them. This sense of coloring that is prevalent in Japan has been fully exploited in MIGUSA.
