Rush grass is amazing.

 

It's not just for summer.

 

By the way, BasShu's rush grass rugs are

100% natural rush grass from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture.

 

As expected from a natural material with 1500 years of history.

It's packed with powers not found in ordinary carpets or synthetic fiber rugs.

 

This time, I've selected and will introduce the parts that made me go "ohhh"

after hearing from people in the production area.

 

Adsorbs airborne dust, etc.!

The cross-section of rush grass is said to have countless small holes, making it sponge-like.

This structure allows it to adsorb and purify nitrogen dioxide, which is said to cause asthma,

and formaldehyde, which causes sick building syndrome.

In other words, simply by laying it down,

it's an excellent product that keeps the air in your room clean!

 

 

Natural Humidity Control

The unpleasant stickiness of the rainy season, the dryness of winter.

That's when rush grass comes in handy!

The sponge-like structure of rush grass absorbs and releases moisture,

naturally dehumidifying and humidifying.

This is said to be why it has been used in Japan, with its high temperatures and humidity,

since ancient times.

 

Finally,

 

Heat Retention and Insulation Effects

It might be easier to understand if you imagine a tatami mat:

When you step on a tatami mat barefoot in winter, it doesn't feel cold, does it?

This is because the sponge part of the rush grass contains air,

providing high insulation and making it unaffected by outside temperatures.

That's why it's cool in summer and comfortable to use in winter!

 

 

Feel free to lounge around all year round.
