Ching Tu Tatami 景都日式榻榻米

Ching Tu Tatami, based in Kaohsiung, is a traditional tatami workshop led by master craftsman Lin Ming-Yi, who is nearly 90 years old. They handcraft Japanese-style tatami mats using locally sourced Taiwan rushes and specialized boards, employing traditional techniques in weaving, cutting, and stitching. The brand offers custom sizes and shapes to fit spaces like tatami rooms, tea rooms, and bedrooms, and also provides restoration and repair services for old tatami. Each mat undergoes a meticulous process from rush selection and drying to edge finishing, ensuring breathability and durability. Serving southern Taiwan, Ching Tu Tatami preserves the traditional aesthetics of Japanese tatami craftsmanship while adapting to modern home needs.
