- The first tatami mats are in so I can finally move to the repaired part of the house and then the carpenters can work on the irori room. Also polished the engawa, and painted a wall black with concentrated kakishibu (persimmon extract).

About Ryunohara: Ryunohara is a tea and bee farm in progress. We're nestled deep in the mountains of Ryujinmura, Wakayama Prefecture. The 2 farmhouses on the property are 60 and 120 years old. We will use natural farming techniques, so no tilling, no fertilisers, pesticides, and no weeding. A farm-to-table cafe is in the works.
Mori curled up under the covers is ❤️. The wood has such a lovely warm shine, so nice to see the new tatami too.☺️
Really amazing to watch your progress! Thanks for taking the time to create and share these videos!
Thanks for watching Toby!
Nice! Nothing like the gloss on freshly polished wood.
I would like to sip a freshly whipped macha on pouring rainy day on the brand new tatami with blankets wrapped around me...also don't forget the osenbe...such a pleasure.
Amazingly beautiful house in progress!! U hv capture the LOVEs of the MEN at work! The closed up 真剣の顔 of the tatami man is precious! 💪🏽💪🏽😍😍🤟🏽
They are very dedicated to their jobs!
looks and fun. dont let the bed bugs bite ;)
👍🐸👍 nice
Glad the tatami mats still fit the rooms even though the floor boards and the posts had to be repaired/replaced.
I also get why the rice stalk is more effective than the rag, because the rougher surface of the stalks actually polish the wood better. Similar to how we polish the floor board in wooden ancestral house here were we use rags to apply the wax and then use coconut husk to polish the surface.
They actually had to be resized after the renovations because the measurements had changed. Coconut husks are a great idea by the way. We have hemp palm here which are similar to coconut husks and they are used for scrubs and brooms.
Sorry, i am not from your country. So please apologize if my question is kinda dumb. What are you doing in winter? Isn't it super cold with these kinda walls? And what about heating costs? How do you even heat such a traditional home? I am really interested in that topic and would really appreciate if you find the time to answer my questions. Thanks and best regards.
Hi, we repair and build things in the winter. It is cold here but we spot heat, so kerosene heaters (with deodorisers so they don’t smell), electric blankets, and nice hot sake.
@@Ryunohara haha Great. The sake post made me laugh out loud. 😂 And thank you very much for that super fast reply!
@@mutsu-tv You're welcome! The cold air comes in through the gaps between the sliding doors and pillars because the house isn't perfectly straight, but I'm used to it now. I heat the room with the kerosene heater just before I go to bed, and the electric blanket alone usually does the trick for me.
@@Ryunohara thanks. Love the support
Hi! Could you share me please your Tatami's dealer contact? Thanks!

@@Ryunohara Thanks! Can I bother you asking you if you know where to find some really nice Shikifutons?
