A PEEK AT THE TATAMI MAKING PROCESS: FROM IGUSA FIELDS TO TRADITIONAL JAPANESE ROOMS
Hello Production Engineering friends,
What you see here is not a rice planting machine—these farmers are planting grass with the same machine used to plant rice. The plant they are planting is igusa, a type of grass used to make tatami, the famous traditional Japanese mat. Although at first glance it looks similar to rice cultivation, both the same wet fields, the same cultivation method, this plant has a much longer harvest period than rice. Igusa plants usually take about 7 to 8 months from planting to being ready to harvest. Igusa plants are usually harvested as the main material for mats known as tatami.
Tatami is an important part of Japanese culture that has existed for hundreds of years. In the past, tatami was only used by noble families as a sign of social status. However, over time, tatami has become an integral part of Japanese society, especially in traditional homes called "washitsu." Tatami consists of woven mats made from the igusa plant, which provides a soft texture and a distinctive natural aroma. Today, tatami is still seen as an important element in interior design, not only for traditional styles but also in combination with modern designs.
