Japanese Bamboo Kyo Sudare Table Mat

Kyo Bamboo Sudare Placemat – Natural

A traditional Japanese bamboo mat that brings natural texture and quiet structure to the dining table.

This placemat is made in Japan from domestically sourced bamboo, carefully arranged into slender strips and bound together with thread. Its simple, open construction is inspired by sudare—traditional Japanese bamboo screens used to soften light and create a sense of coolness during the warmer months.

The warm, natural color complements ceramic tableware, wooden bowls, lacquerware, and glassware without overpowering them. Use it beneath an individual Japanese meal, as a base for tea and sweets, or as a decorative mat for seasonal arrangements.

A light water-repellent finish helps protect the bamboo during everyday use while preserving its natural appearance.

Care Instructions

Wipe gently with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth after use.

Please Note

As bamboo is a natural material, variations in color, grain, thickness, nodes and surface texture may occur. Small marks or slight differences between individual pieces are natural characteristics rather than defects.

The mat is flexible and may not lie completely flat immediately after storage. Gently laying it flat for a short period will help it settle.
