Bring authentic Japanese heritage into your handmade creations with this traditional tatami edge tape, a specialized jacquard trim woven in the textile heartland of Kojima, Kurashiki. For centuries, tatami-beri has bound and protected the edges of traditional Japanese tatami mats, and now this genuine piece of Japanese craftsmanship is reimagined for modern makers. The strikingly versatile hemp leaf pattern—a time-honored Japanese design symbolizing healthy growth and protection—features vibrant green with crisp white accents, offering both cultural storytelling and visual appeal to your projects.
• Width: 8cm; Length: 10m (full roll)
• Material: Blend of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester for structural integrity and durability
• Stiff, durable fabric with long woven edges that won't fray; usable on both sides
• Traditional Japanese design with protective symbolism; made in Okayama Prefecture
• Care: Do not iron or wash; protect from high temperatures, moisture, and UV rays to prevent shrinkage or fading
Unlike standard ribbons, this stiff decorative tape trim provides exceptional natural support, often eliminating the need for heavy interfacing in pouches or structural accents. The long woven edges are perfectly finished, and cut ends can be easily folded in, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed for clean, professional finishes. Due to its specialized traditional blend, please do not iron or machine wash.
Designed for bag making, zip pouch making, bookbinding, and countless other creative disciplines, this wide jacquard trim adapts beautifully across multiple crafting practices. Use it for sturdy tote bag straps, decorative gussets, or textured book cover accents. The authentic hemp leaf pattern makes it especially prized for Japanese-inspired projects, dollhouse miniatures, and 1:12 scale washitsu (tatami room) dioramas. Please note that due to the handwoven nature of this traditional material, the pattern and color may vary slightly depending on the production lot, and actual colors may appear different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions.
