<Notation based on the Product Liability Law>

Regardless of whether the tatami mat is kept inside or outside, please refrain from installing it in areas where the temperature and humidity levels greatly vary.
This can cause defects such as condensation, corrosion, and warping.

Do not use tatami mats in ways that deviate from the items in the instruction manual.
Please be aware in advance that we can assume no responsibility for defects such as damage, corrosion, or warping due to customer negligence.

Please be aware that product photographs may appear to have a different color tone from that of the actual product, depending upon the photographing circumstances and the type of monitor that you use.
