Tatami-beri Ribbon, Japanese Jacquard | Heavyweight Trim, Goldfish Design

Unlike flimsy satin, grosgrain, or standard cotton ribbons, this tatami-beri ribbon stays with structural integrity and authentic heritage. This specialized jacquard ribbon trim brings the traditional Japanese edge tape used for centuries on tatami mats into your modern creative studio. Woven with a bold array of goldfish in delicate lines, it can be used on both sides, expanding the possibilities for your handmade projects.

• Width: approximately 8 cm; length: approximately 10 m per roll
• Material: approximately 47% polyethylene, 23% polypropylene, and 30% polyester
• Heavyweight, stiff fabric trim with crisp finish; naturally holds its shape without heavy interfacing
• Do not iron or wash; protect from high temperatures, moisture, and UV rays to prevent shrinkage, fading, or color transfer
• Made in Japan (Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture)

This decorative tape trim is designed to be used on both sides, giving you maximum versatility. Please note that due to its traditional blend and characteristics, the pattern and color may vary depending on the production lot. Product photos are displayed as close to actual colors as possible, though differences may occur based on monitor settings and room lighting.

This tatami beri ribbon was produced as part of the Design Goals project, an initiative where creators with disabilities, designers, and companies collaborate to produce exceptional products. The Okayama Prefecture Bizen Regional Bureau supported this effort as part of the FY2020 "Project to Develop Design Businesses Utilizing Art by People with Disabilities."
