A small indigo Japanese placemat woven from natural hemp in the traditional kaya weave, sized for a single plate, a breakfast setting or a tray of tea.
Made by Ban Inoue in Japan, it uses kaya, the light, open weave traditionally used for Japanese mosquito nets. The deep indigo blue has a quiet, timeless feel, and sits beautifully with white porcelain and natural timber. It also works well as a runner-style accent under a vase.
Pairs well with our Indigo Kaya Coaster. Also available as the Small Charcoal Kaya Placemat and Small Persimmon Kaya Placemat, or in a larger size in charcoal and persimmon.

Please note since these mats are made with natural hemp fibres, there may be small knots or frayed threads on the surface. These are organic characteristics of the weaving process, and are to be enjoyed as such.
