Tatami mat by Joshua
In most Tokyo homes the floors are covered with thick straw mats called tatami. Tatami comes in a size about 3 feet by 6 feet. Traditional Japanese furniture are low and simple. Tables stand only a few inches high. At meals everyone sits on the fioor. At bedtime light mattresses or futons are folded down from closets. In the winter rooms can grow very cold.
What are tatami made of ?
