One thoughtful detail — the endlessly linked circles of the traditional Shippo pattern — sets this tatami edge trim apart. This authentic Japanese jacquard, woven in Kojima, Kurashiki, brings genuine cultural heritage into your creative practice. The stiff, medium-weight construction provides natural structural support without requiring heavy interfacing, making it ideal for everything from bag making to bookbinding projects.

• Width: approximately 8cm; Length: approximately 10m per full roll
• Material: approximately 47% polyethylene, 23% polypropylene, 30% polyester
• Usable on both sides; finished woven edges will not fray
• Care: Do not iron or wash; avoid high temperatures, moisture, and direct UV exposure to prevent shrinkage or fading

This traditional textile features auspicious red and white colors in the timeless Shippo design, symbolizing harmony, balance, and good fortune. Pattern and color may vary slightly between lots due to the product's handcrafted nature. While we work to display colors as accurately as possible, your monitor settings and room lighting may affect how the trim appears in person.

• Proudly made in Okayama Prefecture, Japan — a city renowned globally for premium textile manufacturing
• Versatile across bag making, bookbinding, journaling, and decorative crafting
• Can be used for pouches, wallets, structural accents, and even 1:12 scale Japanese diorama details

For centuries, tatami-beri has protected and decorated the edges of traditional Japanese tatami mats. Unlike standard ribbon, this heavyweight trim holds its shape beautifully, creates clean finishes, and works with bias tape or careful heat-sealing at cut ends. Bring this authentic piece of Japanese craftsmanship into your handmade goods.
