<畳/Tatami>
It is the traditional type of flooring used in Japan, and is a mat made of woven straw called Igusa. Igusa have a special kind of scent that you may make you relaxing.
In Japan, the size of a room is typically measured by the number of tatami mats (-畳 -jō). The traditional dimensions of the mats were fixed at 90 cm by 180 cm (1.62 square meters) by 5 cm. Half mats, 90 cm by 90 cm (35.5 in by 35.5 in) are also made. Mats from Kyoto (Kyo-tatami) and other parts of western Japan are slightly larger than those from Tokyo and eastern Japan at 95.5 cm by 191 cm (1.82m²; 37.6 in by 75.2 in).
