With its stiff, structured weave and authentic Japanese heritage, this tatami edge tape brings genuine character to your creative projects. This specialized jacquard gingham trim, woven in the textile heartland of Kojima, Japan, combines traditional craftsmanship with modern versatility for bag making, bookbinding, and beyond. The heavyweight fabric holds its shape beautifully, eliminating the need for heavy interfacing and delivering the professional, crisp finish that serious makers demand.

• Width: Approximately 8cm, length: approximately 10m per roll
• Material: Approximately 51% polyethylene, 1% polypropylene, 48% polyester; medium thickness
• Usable on both sides with finished woven edges that resist fraying
• Care: Do not iron, wash, or expose to high temperatures, moisture, or direct UV light
• Made in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan

Please note that due to the tape's traditional characteristics, slight variations in pattern and color may occur between production lots. While we photograph colors as accurately as possible, your monitor settings and room lighting may cause slight differences in how the product appears on your screen.

Ordering & Cutting Guide: By the half yard (0.45m), multiple quantities will be cut and shipped as one continuous piece—for example, quantity 2 equals 1 yard (0.9m), and quantity 3 equals 1.5 yards (1.35m). For the best value, select the full roll option at 11 yards (10m) to receive the complete original roll at a 30% discount compared to standard cut length pricing.

Crafted for Creators

This decorative trim is reimagined from the traditional tatami-beri used for centuries to bind and protect the edges of authentic Japanese tatami mats. The stiff, durable fabric provides excellent structural integrity across multiple disciplines: use it for tote bag straps, crossbody bands, and decorative gussets in bag making; create durable zip pouches, coin purses, and cardholders that maintain a professional shape in pouch making and wallet binding projects; design stunning textured book covers and junk journal spines for bookbinding and journaling; or construct the most authentic edge trim for 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu dioramas and architectural models. The long, finished woven edges won't fray, and cut ends can be easily folded in, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed for clean, polished results. By incorporating this genuine piece of Japanese cultural heritage into your handmade goods, you're bringing 100% authentic Japanese manufacturing into your studio.
