Hanawabi Woven Tea Mat - BAN INOUE

A Small Accent, A Beautiful Statement

A beautiful balance of understated elegance and rich detail. This small tea mat pairs intricate, subtly shimmering patterns with the natural texture of hand-spun, hand-woven ramie, creating a striking contrast that feels both sophisticated and inviting.

Perfect for highlighting a favorite ceramic piece, serving tea and sweets, or adding a refined accent beneath a vase or decorative object. Its compact size also makes it easy to layer with a larger placemat or tray, bringing depth and character to your setting without overwhelming it.

Part of BAN INOUE's Hanawabi collection, the mat combines Meibutsu-gire, decorative textiles historically treasured in Japanese tea culture, with the rustic beauty of hand-spun, hand-woven ramie. The name Hanawabi reflects this beautiful contrast between splendor and simplicity, giving traditional Japanese artistry a fresh presence in contemporary interiors.
