My grandpa was Tatami Yasan in Kyushu Japan. I spent one winter in his place, when I was very young. “Doma “ was filled with rice strolls and big machine to make tatami mats. All the sound in this video brings all my memories coming back. I was on top of fresh tatami on his reercar. Once delivery to a house. It was a day before the young couple’s wedding. I sow white wedding kimono in living room. Never forget that day. Proud of Japanese skill man ship. Thank you for showing your video.

I thought my gran (very very VERY not Japanese. 1st gen - by 6months - American from Ireland, so pretty dang far from Japanese traditions) was ruthless in making people take off their shoes (for fear of the slipper of doom coming down on the miscreant who forgot) on old wood and carpeted floors. If the floor had been as carefully made as these? I fear she would have killed us instead of a slippering. 😀😀
What are you guys on about?! Taking of your shoes should be a standard procedure when entering your home. You won't believe what fucking kind of filth is sticking to your shoe soles while walking around your area.
For those who don't know, Tatami are very expensive, as you'd expect from such hard work! But if they are cared for properly, then they can last up to 40 years. Even so, they must be flipped over every 4-6 years to expose the new surface beneath. This is called “ura-gaeshi.” After 4-6 years, or sooner if the mat is in the direct sunlight, or a high-traffic area, then the surface of the mat must be replaced. This is called "omote-gae", and they keep the center board, or "tatami-doko," and put on fresh covering. If the tatami-doko is damaged, gets soaked and improperly dried, or gets infested with termites or blood-sucking "dani," then you have to replace them completely, or "shin-datami" and "shintyo." Because they are a natural product, they have a sweet, distinctive aroma, especially when freshly made or refreshed via omote-gae.
Thank you for that AMAZING information! I switched from a Western mattress to a lovely natural cotton shikibuton laid directly on fluffy carpet. It is great but I would so love a Tatami. I'll probably build a platform storage bed to put it on so it looks a lil more Western. My "guests" who sleep over find it odd but comment the sleep the next morning (tongue pop).
Татами используют для сна, верно? Видимо, он достаточно тяжёлый по сравнению с любым матрасом? И что означает "правильно ухаживать", кроме соблюдения режима влажности?
In western countries, we have this stuff called “wood” and it does basically the same job, lasts longer, is a hell of a lot easier to make and is way cheaper to replace when it wears out. 😊
Hello, I have had two 140x200 Tatamis for almost 20 years, they are still as beautiful as the first day, a beautiful patina in addition. Thank you for your know-how.
I'm from Malaysia 🇲🇾 & used to live in Suzaka-shi, Nagano-ken for about 6 months. The tatami mat is very comfortable, especially during the winter @ ordinary days, because in addition to being comfortable to walk on, it is also very fun to lie down on. Hope I will be able to return to Japan one day.
I've watched a ton of videos of craftsman in Japan. I think its really cool how they still have so many traditional and hand crafted businesses, and they appear to be paid very well for their products too which would suggest their culture values this sort of thing. Makes me sad that the US has been largely falling away from that for years in exchange for cheaper products made in another country.
It is fascinating to watch the juxtaposition of using a machine to weave an item in use for 100's of years, then have a lone craftsman literally use his hands and bare feet to complete the same item. Wild and revealing.
Weaving machines are very old technology and the only thing fairly new about it is that it’s powered by electricity and not someone spinning a crank or pedaling. But even in the modern era many products are finished by hand because machines can’t do the delicate and detailed work.
Столько этапов, и на каждом этапе работа выполняет скрупулёзно и качественно, не игнорируя даже мелочи. Заготовка материала ночью делает его мягким и гибким, сортировка оставляет лучшие образцы, и даже к изготовлению соломенного мата подходят ответственно - выбрана оптимальная скорость сшивания... Сборка компонентов вручную - просто песня.😊
WOWWW I am SO impressed by the huge amount of hard labor that goes into making tatami. What an amazing, back-breaking job to produce just *one* tatami mat! I had no idea tatami mats were so thick...I have never seen one before. I just assumed they were...well, thin mats one laid on the floor! I always wondered how they kept thin mats from scooting around on the floor as they were walked on. Silly me! 😅 The grass that is used (Igusa, right?) is so beautiful even in its natural state. It makes a gorgeous woven product. I'm so glad this ancient technique is still being used today. 💕😊 Thank you so much for this very impressive, instructive video! 👍🙏
Amazing craftsmanship! I love the smell of newly install tatami mats in a house💜 Thank you for you hard work and effort in maintaining a beautiful Japanese tradition.

Upon rewatching this film on creating tatami mats, I can’t help but imagine the process _WITHOUT_ the machines 😧 from harvesting, to bundling, to dying, to removing the mud, to weaving . . . it would have employed so many more people, but at what price?? The toll on their bodies is unimaginable! Much respect for this incredible tradition ☮️ May it live on for a long, long time 🙏🏾
That's what I was thinking, too! It is complicated enough with machines but without them it would be unbelievable. It's a wonder that they were persistent enough to develop the craft.
@@brucetidwell7715 It´s out of season job. After harvesting you perform maitenance and then you have what, 3 month of this kind of jobs. Every culture had these. In my region it was weaving of linen (flax). That is - growing and harvesting flax, drying, wetting, drying, getting the fiber out, making threads, weaving and mayby dyeing, or dyeing the theads and then embroidery. You have the man power (but mostly woman power) because in winter there is not much to do.
WOW that was just amazing . I have seen how they rdo the tatami mats and use a machine to restitch it but this is the first time i have seen someone actually stitch the mat. That was briliant !! Awesome job to everyone from start to finish

Absolutely stunning process to watch - even with machine assistance now there is still such skill and effort required to make these. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing their profession with us. And if possible, thank these artisans. On the other hand, I would have liked to see a piece of hand weaving like their ancestors To better understand their history and the difficulty of the task. Even if it must be recognized, this does not take away the ingenuity of the people who designed these machines Really very beautiful THANKS

@@sindeviltry0307 水島コンビナートのそばで生まれ育ちましたが、初めて知りました～
アラサー岡山人（早島）です。小学校低学年（平成初期）ぐらいまではい草農家さんや織機を動かしてる家が1〜2件ありました。戦国時代から昭和中期にかけて干拓された土地なので稲作ができず塩分に強いい草栽培が栄えたようです（調べてみたら八代市も干拓地のようですね）。おっしゃる通り水島コンビナートができて間も無く公害で商品にならなくなり、もともと重労働（冬の植付け、夏の収穫）であったこともあって廃業が相次いだと習いました。今は田んぼになっています。その後繊維業が栄えたのも畳表の織機を扱ってたのと多少繋がりがあるのかなと思います。

I can now see why Japanese respect their tatami so much and want to protect it from shoes and damage.
This justify the price tag more than anything. This is a skill set. It's amazing how precise the assembly is.
Quel beau travail de qualité artisanale ! Merci beaucoup pour ce partage. Dōmo arigatô gozaimasu.
I've got a lot of respect for the tradition and artistry that people use in making things the older ways. It seems to produce higher quality and more eye appealing items.
What extremely clever artisans. Beautiful work.
Japan manages to always have efficient machines or people to do things.....love the people and their culture for things Iike that!( besides other things)😊❤
Engineers and dedicated hard workers are the real superheroes

عمل يستحق الثناء , لقد ذكرتني هدا التاتامي الياباني , بحصير مصنوع من نبتة الدوم , كنا نستعمله قديما في المغرب , بالرغم من انه كان رقيق السمك و غير مريح ادا جلست عليه لمدة طويلة , الا انه يتير شعورا بالنوستالجيا لدي . تحياتي للصناع اليابانيين المهرة .
Ot ve saman ile yapulan, bu kadar zahmetli bir yatak.Alışkın olmayan yatamaz ama evimde olsun isterdim. Gelenekçi Japonlara hayranım.
ty for showing how this is done and the skill of the artisans keeping the tradition alive
TRADITION IS REAL BEAUTY, LOVED WATCHING....
Thank you for making this video and showing these dedicated craftsmen at work. Such a treat to see - and hear.
( I am so glad you don't find the need to clutter the background with music.)
This was so beautifully done. The craftsmanship that it takes. The time that it tastes in years and years to perfect this craft. I say thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤ It's so beautiful. ❤
日本の伝統 小さいころ 春になると畳替えに職人さんが音連れて 我が家の畳は畳のにおいで新鮮な気持ちになったのをおぼあえています。
機械化できるほど均一な作物を育てて選別するまでの手間がすごい
Good job recording this in stereo. The frog sounds in the beginning are amazing :)
Lavoro magnifico! Che abilità! Incanta guardare come lavorano bene!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Pure craftsmanship. Impressive and a real pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing this video🙏
I can't imagine the comfort and warmth from these floor coverings. Simple, modest luxury ❤️🙏

Respect pentru munca depusa, întotdeauna produsele japoneze,au fost de calitate superioara, felicitări din România, de la malul Dunării, din Zimnicea, felicitări, un salut, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is so amazing, the complexity and care of the many craftsmen is wonderful to see. I had no idea his complex these mats were! The cost must be very high.
Absolutely stunning process to watch - even with machine assistance now there is still such skill and effort required to make these. Thank you for sharing
I watched it. Mind blown. I always wanted tatami. I cant believe that these folks made such fine work out of grass.
The final finishing and stitching were intense. That is brutal work, and yet it was executed beautifully. Bravissimo!
Thank you everyone for sharing the process of making a tatami mat. Very interesting. ❤
Thank you for sharing their profession with us.
And if possible, thank these artisans.
On the other hand, I would have liked to see a piece of hand weaving
like their ancestors
To better understand their history and the difficulty of the task.
Even if it must be recognized, this does not take away the ingenuity of the people who designed these machines
Really very beautiful
THANKS
Япония как всегда на высшем уровне. Это очень круто 🫶
ฉันเคยไปเรียนรู้การเก็บเกี่ยว"อิกุซ่า" เพื่อทำเสื่อทาทามิ ที่จ.คุมาโมโต้ ต้องทำงานตั้งแต่ตี4ทุกวันในฤดูเก็บเกี่ยว ประทับใจมากค่ะ
I have been crocheting since I was 8 (I am now 64 years of age), I bow to True Masters of their craft.
Beautiful craftsmanship
