Whether you're reinforcing bag straps, binding journal spines, or adding authentic Japanese texture to miniature dioramas, this tatami edge tape brings heritage craftsmanship to modern making. Woven in Kojima, Japan, using traditional jacquard techniques that have protected and decorated tatami mats for centuries, this heavyweight trim is reimagined for creators seeking materials with genuine cultural depth and structural integrity. Hand-finished by skilled artisans on heritage looms, the snowflake design features patterns inspired by traditional snow rings and hemp leaves, available in four color combinations including the chocolate mint shown here.
• Width: 8cm / Length: 10m per roll
• Material: Approximately 81% polyethylene, 1% polypropylene, 18% polyester
• Features: Usable on both sides; naturally stiff with excellent structural support; finished long woven edges that won't fray
• Care: Do not iron or wash; protect from high heat, moisture, and UV rays to prevent shrinkage, fading, or color transfer
Due to its specialized traditional blend and artisan production, pattern and color may vary slightly from lot to lot. Colors are captured as accurately as possible in photography, though your monitor settings and room lighting may cause slight variations in how the chocolate mint and other color options appear in person.
