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.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
