Does anyone know where I can hae a tatami mat made for a den in my place? There used to be a shop on Wellington St but it's not there any more and it was very expensive anyway.
Thanks

Hi Kathy, I do not know a place that sells it but, just to let you know what happened with tatami's in this country..... I brought some over from Japan and when humidity season started, it turned green. It looked like pieces of artwork expressing uncleanly lifestyle rather than zen. Yes, you can wipe off the mold but, it started turning green within one day from where I would wipe off the mold. In the end, it was too much work every day that I just threw it away.
In any case, you can order it on the internet. Tatami's are generally expensive and I would suggest not to get a really good quality one as long as you live in a high humidity country. And I suggest you get an anti-mold coating or a hight-tech tatami!!!! Good luck!!

Tatami mat sold at Ito Futon (that used be on Wellington St) is what we call 'chemical material' and the mattress itself is plastic, I think. Only the surface material is from a plant called rush. We've had the one from there for over 3 years now and never had molds, although the color had completely faded away. The people at the store were very helpful in explaining details and I recall they were able to cut the tatami into whatever size you want as well, so I'd give them a call.

Hi, I actually have a set of 4 long tatami mats and a centrepiece square tatami mat for sale. It was bought in the shop on wellington st.
They're in very good condition and it wasn't difficult to manage at all whilst we were using it. If you're interested in buying a set 2nd hand, let me know and i'll give you more details. We also have 4 L shaped chairs that we used on the tatami.

Hi, measurements of the mats are as follows:
61 inches * 23 inches (x2)
54 inches * 29 inches (x2)
32 inches * 32 inches (x1)
The original price was around $1600 each and I can offer a 40% discount, so $960 each. Prices can be negotiated.
The L shaped wooden chairs were purchased at $1400 each, very good condition. I can offer 40% discount again, so $840 each.
Viewing can be arranged. Please email me at steph.shih@gmail.com for more details. Thanks.
