SERVICE

We are Japan’s first tufting specialty shop—also rare on a global scale—located in Kitahorie, Osaka, with an integrated studio.

From functional rug tufting to tufting as an art form, we support a wide range of creators, from those already working with tufting to those just beginning their journey into tufting.

SHOP

In our shop, you can see and handle tufting guns, yarns, and other tools in person, and purchase products with guidance from our staff.

The space is filled with a wide variety of sample rugs, allowing you to experience firsthand the creative freedom and expressive possibilities of tufting.

In addition to one-day workshops, the studio on the fifth floor also holds two-day home tufting master courses where you can learn more thoroughly.

OUR PROFILE

RUGMATAG was established in November 2021 as the first tufting studio in Western Japan.
In March 2022, we will open a tufting specialty store in Morinomiya, Osaka, which will be a rare tufting shop and studio on a global scale.
With the cooperation of several long-established rug companies in Japan, we offer a wide range of tufting suggestions, from tufting to create authentic rugs to tufting as art.

Additionally, they are engaged in a wide range of activities, including producing decorative items for major department stores, collaborating with artists and brands, and even exhibiting their works at tufting art exhibitions overseas.
We also focus on supporting tufting artists and hosting tufting contests, as well as working to spread the appeal of tufting.

The origin of the store's name, "RUGMATAG," came from an experience when the owner felt it was too precious to step on the first rug he made, and ended up stepping over it.
It is filled with our desire to share the excitement and joy of that moment with all our customers.

Mission

"Bringing the joy of creation to everyone."
RUGMATAG aims to create a world where everyone can experience the joy of creation through tufting. Tufting is not just a craft, it is a means of self-expression and an experience that enriches the soul. We will continue to provide tools, knowledge, and communities to bring that joy to as many people as possible.

Vision

We aim to create an environment where the culture of home tufting becomes more widespread in Japan, and where more people can enjoy making original rugs.

1. Create an environment where many people can easily obtain the equipment and materials necessary for tufting without stress.

2. Create an environment where you can explore various types of tools and materials needed for home tufting.

3. Let as many people as possible know the joy of tufting.

Value

  1. Craft & Innovation
    While respecting the traditional techniques of rug making, we aim to evolve tufting to suit the modern era. We develop and improve tools and materials to provide an environment where more people can easily get started.
  2. Create & Connect (The joy of creating x the joy of connecting)
    Tufting is a means of self-expression and at the same time it connects people. RUGMATAG creates a place where people from beginners to professionals can come together, learn from each other and be inspired. We create new connections through workshops and events.
  3. Mindfulness & Well-being (Time to move your hands helps calm the mind)
    The appeal of tufting is not just the craft but the time spent immersed in it. In today's stressful society, we want to spread the word that tufting can also function as a means of mindfulness, and deliver the healing of creation to as many people as possible.
  4. Freedom & Expression
    Tufting can intersect with various genres such as art, design, fashion, interior design, etc. We respect individual creativity and continue to explore the possibilities of new expression through tufting.
