Tatami Edge Tape, Japanese Jacquard - Stiff Trim | 8Cm X 10M | Okayama Woven

Bring authentic Japanese heritage into your modern crafting studio with this tatami edge tape, a specialized jacquard trim woven to preserve centuries of tradition in every stitch. This stiff, durable material transforms ordinary projects into pieces with genuine cultural storytelling and structural integrity that standard ribbons simply cannot match. Sourced from Kojima, Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture—a region globally renowned for premium textile craftsmanship—this decorative tape trim represents the same heritage used to bind and protect traditional Japanese tatami mats.

• 8cm wide × 10 meters per roll; material blend of approximately 54% polyethylene, 15% polypropylene, and 31% polyester for lasting durability
• Thick, stiff construction holds its shape naturally, eliminating the need for heavy interfacing in pouches, wallets, or structural accents
• Long woven edges finish cleanly without fraying; cut ends fold easily or heat-seal for professional results
• Do not iron, wash, or expose to high heat, moisture, or direct UV rays, which may cause shrinkage or discoloration
• Designed by textile artist Yoko Kubodera, as featured in "What to Make with Tatami Borders? A Collection of Cute & Fun Handmade Ideas Using Tatami Borders"

Due to the specialized traditional blend and loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using only the front face of the material. Pattern and color may vary slightly between production lots. While we work to match product photos to actual colors, slight variations may occur depending on your monitor settings and room lighting.
