Japanese Style, Inc.

Goza mats provide a unique and sensuous floor covering and a refreshing covering for tables and even benches. In the Japanese home, tatami mats are used as a surface for sitting, sleeping and walking on. Tatami mats consist of two separate layers. The bottom is a straw core, and the beautiful top layer is of soft reed edged with a chrysanthemum on black bordered cloth. The top layer is called "goza mat". Goza is the decorative top layer mat of the tatami that creates the pattern and add the attractiveness of the tatami mat. It is the goza that is seen and most people are familiar with. Japanese Goza mats are also very popular in Japan as beach mats and coverings for benches.

Our beautiful chrysanthemum border goza mats can easily be used in any home to create the "tatami-like" atmosphere with ease. We offer only quality "fresh" made goza mats; thus the color of the reed is green when received. With time, exposed to air, the mats will turn to a beautiful golden beige color as shown in the picture. Goza also make attractive "throw" rugs for entryways, kitchens, under coffee tables, placed at the foot of beds, and even used in the garden veranda.
