The First New Tatami Mats Are Here

The first tatami mats are in so I can finally move to the repaired part of the house and then the carpenters can work on the irori room. Also polished the engawa, and painted a wall black with concentrated kakishibu (persimmon extract).

About Ryunohara: Ryunohara is a tea and bee farm in progress. We're nestled deep in the mountains of Ryujinmura, Wakayama Prefecture. The 2 farmhouses on the property are 60 and 120 years old. We will use natural farming techniques, so no tilling, no fertilisers, pesticides, and no weeding. A farm-to-table cafe is in the works.

Nice! Nothing like the gloss on freshly polished wood.

Mori curled up under the covers is ❤️. The wood has such a lovely warm shine, so nice to see the new tatami too.☺️

Glad the tatami mats still fit the rooms even though the floor boards and the posts had to be repaired/replaced.

I would like to sip a freshly whipped macha on pouring rainy day on the brand new tatami with blankets wrapped around me...also don't forget the osenbe...such a pleasure.

Sorry, i am not from your country. So please apologize if my question is kinda dumb. What are you doing in winter? Isn't it super cold with these kinda walls? And what about heating costs? How do you even heat such a traditional home? I am really interested in that topic and would really appreciate if you find the time to answer my questions. Thanks and best regards.
