What Kurashiki Igusa Imayoshi Shoten is known for

Founded in 1897 in the rush-grass district that gave Kurashiki its Japan Heritage igusa designation, Imayoshi Shoten still weaves tatami-grass mats and bedding sheets prized for their air-purifying scent. The shop's goods have been recognized under Japan's Wonder 500 program for regional craft exports.
