I only put this out when guests came over. I bought something else, so I've only used it a few times. It's a stylish mat where the color changes depending on the angle and direction. The grape pattern is considered lucky in feng shui and is said to be good for an entrance mat. It's silk. I bought it at a department store in Nagoya, on the floor that specializes in selling rugs, etc. I remember it was around 170,000 yen. I'm selling it because I bought a larger mat.
