We provide custom-made tatami mats tailored to customer needs, serve as ``tatami stylists,'' and continue to explore ways to create tatami mats that fit modern living spaces.
Consistent support from tatami manufacturing and sales to construction and repair
At Hishigen Tatami Store, we continue to carefully create high-quality tatami mats using carefully selected domestic rushes. Using traditional construction techniques that have been cultivated over more than 100 years, we not only manufacture and install new tatami mats, but also perform maintenance such as replacing tatami covers, repairing tatami edges, and exterminating mites. Please leave it to us for special tatami mats such as shrines and temples.
Thorough commitment to domestic rushes
In addition to being soft enough to prevent injury, tatami mats also have excellent heat retention and moisture control properties. In addition, rush has a relaxing scent and is a symbol of Japan.
Hishigen Tatami Shop is very particular about domestic rushes, which are used as the material for tatami mats. Every year, we visit rush farmers in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture, check on the performance of the rushes while assisting with their farming operations, and carefully select and purchase high-quality rushes.
In order to create the ideal tatami according to the customer's needs in the form that best fits the space, we use meticulous craftsmanship to produce each tatami piece with all our heart.

Initiatives to connect tatami culture to the future
Tatami mats have long been popular as an indispensable item for rooms where families can gather and relax in a free position.
In recent years, the production volume has decreased due to the soaring prices of rush materials and the aging of farmers, and industrial products such as resin are increasingly being used instead of natural materials. Additionally, as lifestyles change, more and more people are using hardwood floors. However, even under such circumstances, we would like to pass on the goodness of domestically produced tatami to the next generation.
While holding mini-tatami making workshops to help children learn about tatami, we will preserve Japan's original landscape with tatami.
