Good news for all Tameshigiri practitioners: The popular Tatami Omote – Basic Quality is now back in stock and ready to ship!
This traditional rice straw mat is made specifically for Japanese sword cutting practice (Tameshigiri). It comes pre-rolled in a size of 180 x 90 cm, individually wrapped, and protected with a silicone pad and foil cover. This packaging ensures the mat stays dry and undamaged during storage.
You can safely store the mat for several weeks before use. Just make sure to remove the metal wire at the ends before cutting.
Advantages of the Tatami Omote – Basic Quality:
-
Affordable price – perfect for beginners & occasional use
-
Pre-rolled – saves time and effort
-
Quick water absorption – needs only a short soak
-
Easy to cut – great for training & first-time users
We highly recommend this version for anyone who wants to cut traditionally while saving time and money – without sacrificing the authentic cutting experience.
Compared to the Tatami Omote – High Quality, this basic version offers less resistance when soaked and rolled. In fact, the high-quality mat is approximately twice as hard to cut, due to denser material and tighter fiber structure.
That makes the basic quality mat ideal for those who want to train efficiently without the challenge (or cost) of denser cutting targets.
