The surprising hidden benefits of tatami mats and rush grass
Igusa grass, the material used to make tatami mats, has a variety of natural benefits.
1. Moisture absorption to prevent stuffiness
Igusa grass has twice the moisture absorption capacity of cotton, preventing uncomfortable stuffiness inside your shoes.
2. Odor-absorbing properties to prevent odors
Even when your feet sweat, it reduces odor-causing substances and eliminates odors.
3. Antibacterial properties to prevent bacteria
Research has shown that it is effective against bacteria that cause athlete's foot and foot odor.
4. Comfortable elasticity
Each strand of rush grass is packed with fibers, making it soft and comfortable to walk on.
5. Heat retention and insulation
The cross section of rush grass is spongy, which helps block out cold air.
6. Relaxation
Igusa grass contains aromatic wood components that have a soothing and relaxing effect.
Liberato shoes use insoles made from rush grass grown in Kyushu (Kumamoto and Fukuoka).
It provides functionality that allows you to walk comfortably even with bare feet, bringing unprecedented comfort to your daily life.
