In partnership with Sasasho, a dedicated tatami maker from Oita Prefecture with a rich history of 40 years, we present our tatami pen tray that now features a natural-colored chrysanthemum pattern. The chrysanthemum, a flower revered for its antibacterial properties and used in traditional herbal remedies for its anti-inflammatory benefits, symbolizes health and protection against evil. This motif has long been associated with nobility and tranquility, reflecting a state of complete well-being for body and soul.

Tatami mats have graced Japanese estates since the Heian period (8th to 12th centuries), signifying wealth among nobles and warriors. Today, they continue to be a staple in Japanese homes and temples, perhaps you've even seen them on your travels. The scent of rush grass from tatami is wonderfully comforting, and their softness is unmatched for rest and relaxation. This has made tatami rooms a cherished feature in even the most modern Japanese homes.


Many have noticed tatami's golden hue, but it begins as a vibrant green, gracefully maturing with sunlight. Our pen tray invites you to savor this natural aging process, bringing a piece of Japanese life to your desk, as the colors and textures gently shift over time.
