The charm of Tatami

Tatami have a moderate amount of elasticity, offering several benefits, such as reducing the strain on the knees and lower back, making them an ideal surface for resting or practicing yoga. They’re also less likely to cause injury if you fall. This elasticity is due to the reeds on the surface and the fact that the rice straw used for tatami flooring contains a lot of air
