hi what is on the bottom of the Tokyo tatami mats? do they have rubber so it stays in place on hardwood floors? thank you for your time. also, do you have shipping to California, United States?
I was wondering if use of Tatami mats in the floor of a camping trailer would work. It would be convenient to have a couple of mats in a sleeping area and simply roll out a futon at night rather than having a built-in or fold-down bed.
Where is a good place to source these mats for flooring. I would like to do a few rooms in my home in tatami but i cant ever find much more than thin ones like place mats or for a futon.
Were tatami mats also used as a convenient way of getting clean floors because they were easy to replace? When did Japan first start seeing paved roads?
You can use a dehumidifier in your room like I do or you can fill a wool sack with calcium chloride (cotton bags work too) and place it in a corner of the room. Calcium chloride has been used as a dehumidifier long before modern science gave it it's name.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Different areas of the country, even the world have areas in which humidity is a huge problem (the California desert in Blythe CA, the swamps of Louisiana, etc). These humidity issues are seasonal yet can greatly effect your home in negative ways.
@@grawakendream8980 It's a joke from a youtube channel called Rachel and Jun's adventures. They made a video about japanese apartments and there was a section about tatami
@@MrKaje72 I did a bunch on research. Basically it’s not optimal since carpet can trap moisture and this can cause the mat to mold over time. Best to put them on a hard surface.
So glad I found you! Great tips, thank you. Do we need a tatami mat to properly use Japanese futon for sleeping? I was just going to buy the futon and be sure to air it out everyday.
