With summer getting hotter and hotter each year, it might be time to look for more sustainable solutions. While blasting the air conditioner all day might seem like a good idea, it’s expensive and isn’t necessarily good for the environment.
Hagiwara Co Ltd is a company based in Okayama Prefecture that’s developed a rug that is made of igusa or Japanese rush grass. This material is good for lessening humidity and is known as a natural cooler.
Designed with symmetrical muted earth tones, the rug is set to fit in seamlessly in Japanese and Western-style rooms. Using a special weaving technique called kakegawa-ori, the rug is made to feel soft, padded and luxurious.
Available in two sizes, the rug costs ¥15,990 and is available on the official website.

When the temperature is over 35 degrees with high humidity then I ‘need’ my aircon!

I can't see this gimmick cooling down the house on a 38 degree day.

I have not used air once this summer yet. Not hot enough and quite breezy with onshore winds coming across from Sagami Bay well into Machida.
