Description
In the European market, tatami mats are made of real igusa and rice straw, and they would not buy new synthetic materials, which are mainstream in Japan. European customers are looking for natural materials for health and sustainability. They are also looking for tatami beds and shoji sliding doors for space-saving purposes because houses and flats in big cities are getting smaller and smaller. A quantitative survey with about 750 respondents, including 269 Japanese and 463 non-Japanese people, proves that what we heard from Japanese-style interior vendors and users in Barcelona, Spain, and other cities generally applies.
