tatami room
Traditional mat space
A tatami room is a traditional Japanese room with flooring made of tatami mats—thick, woven rush coverings over rice straw.
The mats determine the room's dimensions and layout, as furniture is minimal and people sit or sleep directly on the floor.
Tatami rooms are used for tea ceremonies, dining, and sleeping: The ryokan had a beautiful tatami room overlooking the garden.
