• Width: 8cm; Length: 10m per roll
• Material: Approximately 55% polyethylene, 26% polypropylene, 19% polyester blend
• Origin: Handcrafted in Kojima, Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan—a city globally renowned for premium textile manufacturing

For centuries, tatami-beri has been explicitly used to bind, protect, and decorate the edges of traditional Japanese tatami mats. By incorporating this material into your handmade goods, you're weaving genuine Japanese history into every project. Please note that the reverse side may have loose threads and is not recommended for visible use. Due to the nature of traditional textile production, pattern and color may vary slightly between lots.

Endless Crafting Possibilities

This stiff fabric trim is versatile across multiple disciplines, from bag making to bookbinding. Use it for sturdy tote bag straps, crossbody bands, and structured bag bases that hold their crisp shape without heavy interfacing. For pouches and wallets, the ideal width and stiffness create durable zip pouches, coin purses, and cardholders with professional finishes. Bookbinding and journaling projects benefit from its textured surface—perfect for book covers, junk journal spines, and layered paper accents. The woven ribbon trim also shines in dollhouse miniatures and 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu dioramas, offering the most authentic edge trim for architectural models. Unlike flimsy satin, grosgrain, or standard cotton ribbons, this decorated accent provides clean, perfectly finished long woven edges that will not fray. Cut ends can be easily folded in, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed for polished results.

Made in Japan with pride, this decorative tape trim carries the legacy of Kojima's centuries-long tradition of excellence in textile craftsmanship. Every roll represents authentic Japanese manufacturing and cultural heritage brought directly to your creative table.
