Unlike flimsy satin, grosgrain, or standard cotton ribbons, this tatami edge tape stays true to its roots as a specialized, heavyweight jacquard trim woven to last. Woven in Kojima, Kurashiki—a Japanese city globally renowned for premium textile manufacturing—this authentic material brings genuine cultural storytelling into your handmade goods. The stiff durable fabric holds its shape beautifully, offering natural support that often eliminates the need for heavy interfacing.

• Width: 8cm | Length: 10m per roll
• Material: Approximately 73% polyethylene, 26% polypropylene, 1% polyester
• Thickness: Medium weight with excellent structural integrity
• Care: Do not iron or wash; protect from high temperatures, moisture, and UV rays to prevent shrinkage or fading
• Production: Handcrafted in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan

For centuries, tatami mat borders have been used to bind, protect, and decorate the edges of traditional Japanese tatami mats. By incorporating this material into your studio, you're bringing an authentic piece of Japanese heritage into your creative practice. Please note that due to manufacturing characteristics, pattern and color may vary slightly between lots, and monitor settings and room lighting may affect how colors appear in photographs.

Endless Crafting Possibilities

Bag making enthusiasts will find this the ultimate accent for tote bag straps, crossbody bands, decorative gussets, and structured bag bases that maintain crisp, professional lines. Create durable zip pouches, coin purses, and cardholders with the ideal width and stiffness for lasting shape. Book binding and junk journal projects come alive with textured covers and unique layered accents, while dollhouse and miniature builders will appreciate this as the most authentic edge trim for 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu room dioramas and architectural models. The long woven edges are perfectly finished and will not fray, with cut ends easily folded in, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed for clean finishes.
