Kakegawa weaving Tatami rug recommended introduction

First of all, Tatami rug is a rug made of natural Tatami material Rush with traditional Japanese weaving.
And there are many types of Tatami Rush weaves.

In the first place, what is Kakegawa weaving?

It is the name of the Tatami rug weave that has been handed down from ancient times in the Chikugo region of Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
