9/17 Heavy technical question: I'd be grateful for suggestions on
setting up a weird-sized room with tatami mats. I have a room that
measures 335x353cm, but I gather tatamis only come in about 10 standard
sizes--I can't get any combination of the ones I find to really work,
and having them custom made isn't an option. Any ideas? -John
\_ INFIDEL! There is only ONE correct size for tatami!
\_ good choice! I love tatamis. I have a tatami king size bed. ;-)
My suggestion: use a saw and carefully cut them. Tatamis can be
cut. The edges won't look good but if you're careful you can
sew some covering on the edge so that it looks nicer. Besides,
you'll be putting the sawed edges against a wall, so that matters
less. Is this a for an exercise room? Tatamis are great for
meditation and doing light yoga exercises.
\_ Just sort of a "hey, we-have-an-extra-room-wouldn't-it-be-great-
for-storing-all-this-Japanese-stuff-we-have-room." I'll do
the below, as I'm scared of sawing them ($$$ over here.)
Thanks for the tips! -John
\_ put in a wooden border along the walls, whose border forms a
rectangle that would allow the largest configuration of tatamis. |
