▶Craftsman Profile
Shigeki Ohta / Ohta Tatami Store
He is the third generation of Ohta Tatami Store.
While machine-stitched tatami mats have become the industry's mainstay in recent years, these tatami craftsmen are capable of finishing tatami mats by hand.
Tatami mats made by Shigeki Ohta are finished with great attention to detail and are very highly regarded.

▶Craftsman Passion
"Preserving the traditional culture of tatami for future generations"
We make not only regular tatami mats but also mini tatami mats and even tatami mats for babies to keep up with the times.
I want to preserve the culture of tatami for future generations by remembering the essential things that will never change, while at the same time incorporating new and changing things.
