Description

A traditional Japanese tatami mat is a functional floor element used for sitting, sleeping, and living close to the ground. Unlike rugs or carpets, tatami mats are designed to define space and support daily activities within Japanese interiors.

This tatami floor mat reflects a long-standing tradition of floor living, offering a natural, structured surface that shapes both comfort and interior layout.

What is a traditional Japanese tatami mat?

A tatami mat is a traditional Japanese floor mat used as a surface for living, sitting, or sleeping. It is not a rug or carpet, but a structural element that defines space within a room.

Tatami mat vs rug or carpet: what’s the difference?

Unlike rugs or carpets, a tatami floor mat is designed to be used directly on the floor as part of the living space. Tatami mats provide structure, firmness, and spatial orientation rather than decorative softness.

How tatami mats are used in Japanese interiors

In Japanese homes, tatami mats are used to create calm, flexible spaces for daily life. They support activities such as sitting, sleeping, and meditation, encouraging a closer connection to the floor.

  • Defines living space without furniture
  • Supports floor seating and sleeping
  • Encourages minimalist, flexible interiors
  • Rooted in Japanese architectural tradition
