Bringing Japanese traditional culture to the world.

KITSUTAKA has been manufacturing all products related to Japanese-style rooms, including Tatami mats, for 60 years.
Many of Kitsutaka’s products are still created by the hands of skilled craftsmen with traditional methods that remain unchanged since its founding.
High-level skills are required to both create new ideas and continue traditions that have been handed down through the ages. It is also important to maintain these skills to ensure quality in the products that we supply to customers.

-Tatami-
Tatami mats were created as floor coverings in ancient Japan to allow people to live comfortably in a climate that is humid and accompanied by intense changes in the weather. One of the features of a tatami mat is its excellent “humidity adjustment” capability. In Japan, the climate alternates between a hot and humid summer and a cold and dry winter every year. Amid such harsh climatic changes, a tatami mat serves to stabilize the humidity of a space at a constant level, as if it is a living thing that breathes. The raw material of a tatami mat is “soft rush”, a plant that is made up of fine fibers. The inside of this plant has a structure resembling a sponge that contains a lot of air. This air sponge absorbs moisture when the air is moist, and conversely, it releases moisture when it is dry, as if it is really breathing.

-Shoji Kumiko-
Shoji is a furnishing that plays the role of a door and window in a Japanese-style room.
By pasting a paper such as Japanese paper onto a window frame or door with a wooden frame, light passes through the paper even when the window or door is closed, allowing the view to be blocked while light is still taken in.
Kumiko is a Japanese technique of assembling wooden pieces without the use of nails. In this time, we made Kumiko Lamp using beautiful shoji kumiko. It will illuminate your room with gentle japanese light.
