Tatami Heri Guide

Custom Borders & Aesthetics

"Traditional edges that define the beauty of a space."

Durable Polyester Solid Borders

Plain & Solid Collection

Our plain, solid borders allow you to match the exact tones of your tatami mats, creating a highly sophisticated and contemporary look.

  • Matching Washi & Migusa: Combine soft hues like yellow or neutral paper tones with matching shades (such as our E-34 border) for a seamless, elegant style.
  • Aging with Natural Igusa: As natural rush mats age, they change from vibrant green to a warm honey gold. Matching this natural patina from the beginning with the right border creates a wonderful design harmony.
