	Japanese Tatamis, a way of living
		It is said that tatami came in a variety of thickness and size, with the color of the fabric used on edges showing the rank of the individual household that owned it.
		Tatami is made of soft reed and according to traditional Chinese medicine it calms the spirit and the natural smell will relax the body and soothe the mind.
		Tatami mats are associated with Japanese religious rites and the tea ceremony.
