Learn about the history of tatami and its use in Japanese life. Then, choose your favorite color of rush grass and select a design from a variety of colors and patterns for the tatami edge.

Once you have your design, attach the rush grass to the base, shape it, and add the tatami edge. Use scissors, hammers, and nails to complete each step, with staff on hand to guide you through the process.
