Mitsuru Yokoyama's innovative approach to tatami involves dyeing and weaving grasses, transforming traditional tatami floor coverings into colorful works of art reflecting personal expression.
He noted, "Colors have always been there... I think people just don't try to use them in their interiors," emphasizing the untapped potential of color in Japanese spaces.
Mr. Yokoyama has redefined tatami in modern design, creating a business that merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics in different color forms.
Handmade tatami pieces by Yokoyama start at about $1,000, reflecting the intricate process of dyeing and weaving in the design of each unique piece.
