This tatami edging tape features a new tartan check pattern designed by textile artist Yoko Kubodera and was featured in Cotton Friend Spring 2024 issue, volume 90. Please note that due to loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using the front side only. Color and pattern may vary slightly between production lots. While photos are color-matched as closely as possible, monitor settings and room lighting may affect how the actual trim appears in your space.
