For a home with no tokonoma (the traditional display alcove), a way to hang Japan on the wall. Japanese artisans weave each of these igusa tapestries, about 60 x 90 cm (24 x 35 in), one at a time. The same domestically grown igusa as tatami, woven large, gives shadow and texture that shift with the light, the depth of a natural material that no print can match.

Hang it and a Japanese scene rises with igusa's faint scent. Natural-material decor that needs no watering and no upkeep. For a home, a shop, or the setting of an inn or hotel.

• Size: about 60 x 90 cm (about 24 x 35 in)
• Material: domestically grown igusa (woven)
• Form: wall-hung tapestry

Shizuku Dewdrop: a quiet motif, like a single drop of water. A minimal weave that makes the most of empty space.

Made by Ikehiko Japan
Carrying on the igusa-weaving tradition that Fukuoka, on the island of Kyushu, is known for, Ikehiko has been supplying tatami omote since 1886. For 140 years, the company has held to hand-finishing every piece from Kyushu-grown igusa — and growing some of that igusa itself, alongside partner farmers.

In an entryway or on a shelf, to greet guests with a Japanese mood.
The included shelf lets you stand it on a shelf or table, too, for rooms where you cannot hang things.
Set alongside our Himika incense and wooden incense burners for a corner that brings together

How to Care

Everyday care

Remove dust with a vacuum, a broom, or a dry cloth, working along the grain of the weave.
Igusa draws in moisture, so on dry, sunny days open a window and let air through to help the mat last.

If it gets dirty

Blot the spot gently with a firmly wrung-out cloth, then dry it right away with a clean dry cloth.
Igusa does not take well to water. Do not leave it damp or wash it with water, as this can cause stains and discoloration.

Moisture and mold

In humid seasons, air it out now and then in a shaded, well-ventilated spot.
Direct sun can fade the color, so always dry it in the shade.

Note: With sun exposure the color shifts from green to a soft amber. This is igusa's natural aging, not a flaw.
