Won the 8th Monozukuri Japan Award in the Traditional Technology Application Category!

We publish case studies of judo club stories, gold and silver, ultra-clean living assistance, and child-rearing tatami handled by Nippon Special Tatami!

Please take a look at the case study collection showcasing the Japanese special tatami that is rooted in a long-established tatami shop with 60 years of history, creating a beautiful Japanese space! It features popular items such as the Judo Club Story, Gold and Silver, Ultra Clean Raku-Suke, and Child-Rearing Tatami. ■ Judo Club Story This is a tatami mat specifically designed for judo, pursuing safety, cleanliness, and comfort. It features a flexible and strong surface made of PVC, which maintains excellent grip and sharpness of techniques while minimizing unnecessary slipping through a unique embossing process. ■ Gold and Silver This is a Yuzen tatami developed by Japanese Special Tatami. The traditional Japanese dyeing technique known as Yuzen-zome allows for a variety of expressions by using "color paste." The Yuzen tatami "Gold and Silver" applies this dyeing technique to create tatami surfaces in gold and silver that are resistant to fading. The design is expressed by mixing color paste into the tatami surface made of washi paper. ■ Child-Rearing Tatami This tatami is developed for households with children and for early childhood education and care settings. It features cushioning performance to prevent falls, a child-friendly texture, excellent antibacterial properties, and is easy to maintain, allowing for long-term cleanliness. It is thin and lightweight, can be arranged freely like panels, and allows for flexible adjustments in size according to the space.

Developed moisture-resistant tatami using unique perforated technology and conical special materials.

"Mesh Clean" can circulate (suck up) the moisture under tatami mats. By creating 720 porous holes in the tatami base material and using a special slatted material with approximately 24,000 protrusions on the underside, a gap is formed between the floorboards, allowing the air trapped underneath to be sucked up. This enables the removal of the sealed moisture beneath the tatami mats. In the video, you can see how the dense smoke in the aquarium is quickly sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. This is how moisture can be absorbed through the tatami. Additionally, under the theme of "Protecting tradition with a proactive approach. Developing functional tatami that contributes to a healthy and comfortable lifestyle," four members of our company received the Excellence Award at the 8th Monozukuri Nippon Grand Award. [Features: No Moisture] The vacuum cleaner sucks up the moisture accumulated under the tatami through many "holes" and the tatami surface along with the air. The key is the "holes" in the core material and the "mesh material" on the underside of the tatami! It prevents the growth of dust mites and mold that thrive in moisture, improving the environment. You don't have to worry about the hassle of drying tatami mats.

"Because it's an invisible place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions can be harsh for homes. It's not just the roofs and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints for under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures for preventing recurrence.
