Christmas & New Year Break: Our shop is closed 25 December – 7 January. You can still place orders online, and they’ll be processed when we return on 8 January.
There are two ways to arrange Tatami mats: the “auspicious” and the “inauspicious” tatami arrangement. Nowadays the inauspicious arrangement, where the joints form a ‘+’, is said to bring bad fortune, so the auspicious tatami arrangement is preferred, where no four corners of any full-size mats touch.
