Battle Merchant - Tatami Mat for Cutting Tests Tameshigiri
This straw mat is used for the traditional Japanese cutting test with a samurai sword (mainly Katana or Wakizashi). "The age-old art of" Tameshigiri, which in Japan is practiced both to test the efficiency and sharpness of swords and to demonstrate the skill of sword testers and sword fighters, remains very popular to this day. With a sharp sword, the most diverse cuts are made on the Omote mats. Cutting techniques practiced one-handed or two-handed. At the cutting edge of the mat, you can see the quality of the blade and the skill of the craftsman.
Our Tatami Omote are woven from straw. They are of simple quality but sturdy, easy to cut, and despite their affordable price, they meet the demands of a sword tester. A loose mat, approximately 180 to 180.90 mm thick, in the dimensions of 9080 x 90 cm will be delivered. Rolled, it has a diameter of about 8 cm.
For preparing test cuts, the mat is tightly rolled up, tied, and soaked in water to swell for several hours. Next, the soaked roll (placed upright) should be allowed to dry completely. Through this process, the density required for cutting exercises is achieved, or. Strength achieved. The pre-wrapped mat can now be mounted and used on a Tameshigiri stand.
In addition to their use as martial arts accessories, the Tatami-Omote offered here can of course also be "repurposed" and used for example. used as flooring, edging, covering, or simply for decoration (in the house, garden, or even at Asian events).
