Our Story
The revered Japanese craft of tatami edge-making has been preserved for 1300 years... However, as time has passed, the allure of tatami mats and their edging has waned across Japan, leaving the industry facing challenges. At Kuzen, we passionately aspire for the younger generation to rediscover the appeal of tatami mats for their homes, thereby safeguarding this ancient Japanese craft. Among the 29 patterns with roots in antiquity, as documented in Japan's eldest literary work, the Kojiki, we have handpicked four motifs: "ma no ha (hemp leaf)," "ichimatsu (checkered pattern)," "shippo (cloisonne)," and "seigaiha (blue sea wave)." Each carries deep cultural significance and auspicious connotations. We're expanding our product range with items that enrich modern lives while staying true to tradition. We invite you to explore our resilient, practical, and aesthetically pleasing tatami edge products. Your interest is greatly appreciated.
