portable tatami mat; thin tatami mat for flooring
A thin, lightweight tatami mat designed to be placed directly on hard flooring without permanent installation. Often used in modern interiors or rental apartments.
I laid portable tatami mats on the wooden floor to give the room a Japanese-style feel.
Compound of 置き (oki, 'placing') + 畳 (tatami, 'tatami mat'). Literally 'placing tatami', referring to its portable nature.
