HANAGOZA (Igusa rug & carpet)

History of TATAMI
Tatami has been an essential item of Japanese houses because it matches our climate the best.
Accordingly Japanese people liked this Igusa’s soft texture and began to use Tatami.
A lot of Japanese cultures were imported from China, but Tatami was created by us.
Igusa products of SOEJIMA ISAO SHOTEN CO., LTD. have outstanding texture and excellent scent.
Additionally they are moderately hygroscopic, which refreshes the air and our minds.


Character and effect of IGUSA

Air purifying
IGUSA naturally breathes and makes the air clean.

Humidity regulating
The core of Igusa consists of sponge-like fibers, which absorb the moisture when the air is too humid and dehydrates it when it is too dry.

Mind sedating
The scent of Igusa has aromatherapy effects, which can make you feel as if you are breathing in a forest and can heal your tired body and mind.
