Discover the secret material behind traditional Japanese architecture, reimagined for your modern crafting projects, with this tatami edge tape—a specialized, heavyweight jacquard trim woven to last. Perfect for creators seeking unique, tactile materials that hold their shape and deliver professional results, this authentic tatami-beri brings genuine cultural storytelling into your handmade goods. Woven in Kojima, Kurashiki, a Japanese city globally renowned for premium textile manufacturing, this stiff fabric trim with remarkable structural integrity is the ultimate sturdy accent for everything from bag making to bookbinding.

• Width: 8cm; standard length per half yard is 0.45m
• Material: Approximately 55% polyethylene, 18% polypropylene, 27% polyester
• Thickness: Heavyweight, providing excellent natural support without heavy interfacing
• Care: Do not iron, wash, or expose to high temperatures, moisture, or UV rays
• Finished edges: Long woven edges are perfectly finished and will not fray; cut ends can be folded, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed

For centuries, tatami-beri has been used to bind, protect, and decorate the edges of traditional Japanese tatami mats. Due to loose threads on the reverse side, we recommend using only the front face. Please note that due to its characteristics, the pattern and color may vary slightly depending on the lot, and colors may appear differently depending on your monitor settings and room lighting.

This heavyweight trim is designed specifically for bag making and sewing projects, from tote bag straps and crossbody bands to decorative gussets and structured bag bases. The ideal width and stiffness make it perfect for sewing durable zip pouches, coin purses, and cardholders that maintain a crisp, professional shape. Bookbinding and journaling enthusiasts will love creating textured book covers, junk journal spines, and layered accents for paper crafting. Even miniature builders can use this as the most authentic edge trim for 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu dioramas and architectural models. 100% made in Japan, this decorative trim tape represents centuries of textile heritage brought directly to your creative practice.
