Fukushima

Established in 1740 in Sukagawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, the Kuboki Tatami Mat Shop has been providing households and companies with the highest quality tatami mats. The Kuboki Tatami Mat is a traditional Japanese mat, made of natural Rush grass exterior and rice straw foundation, that is used for flooring in homes, hotels and cultural centers. However, with lifestyle changes and a preference for more modern styles, interest in tatami flooring has been steadily decreasing. With that in mind, KUBOKI, a tatami accessories line was created in January of 2020, in order to preserve the tatami culture for future generations. Every tatami accessory is handmade using the age-old techniques with the hope of passing down the spirit and tradition of Japanese culture and hospitality.
