Tatami for wandering, SASURAI

The oldest tatami mats in Japan remain in the Shosoin at Todai-ji Temple in Nara Prefecture.
For over 1,000 years since then, tatami mats have become an ordinary sight beneath our feet.

But,

what if we took them outside?

It is said that Sen no Rikyu once created a portable tea room and held tea ceremonies everywhere.

I feel an innocent sense of playfulness in Rikyu's aesthetic.

So, I'll take my tatami to the sea and play the guitar with the sound of the waves.

Tatami is this free.

How would you play with tatami?

	Wander to the sea,
with tatami,
	and sing.

Wander to the fields,
	with tatami,
and dance.

So where shall we wander?
