Japan Carpet Co., Ltd., a tile carpet manufacturer with 150 years of history (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative: Yuta Ikezaki), will launch its "Artificial Turf Home Tile shiba-cocochi," a series expansion of its Home Tile® products, on March 25, 2026.
Why We, Confident in Artificial Turf Manufacturing, Developed This Product
Amid recent intense heatwaves and abnormal weather restricting outdoor activities, there is a growing demand for "creating spaces where one can feel nature while indoors." The company has long been involved in the manufacturing and supply of artificial turf for sports facilities, holding the top domestic production record. Leveraging the high technical capabilities and know-how cultivated over the years, we have developed and manufactured the "shiba-cocochi" Artificial Turf Home Tile, optimized to allow comfortable enjoyment of natural comfort even in home spaces.
Product Features
It realistically reproduces the appearance of grass by skillfully combining green and brown yarn. With a pleasant texture that is neither too hard nor too soft, it can be used for various purposes. Similar to the company's home-use tile carpet "Home Tile®," the backside features a special non-slip treatment, making installation as simple as laying it down. It is an artificial turf tile that allows you to easily enjoy a grassy space while retaining the convenience unique to tile carpets, which can be removed and washed tile by tile.
Ideal Usage Scenarios!
Incorporating artificial turf into a corner of your living room or room adds natural color and a sense of relaxation to the space. It is also perfect for indoor dog runs. Creating a space where your beloved dog can play freely helps alleviate lack of exercise. It also fits perfectly in sunrooms. Suitable for golf putting practice, it can also be used to create a casual training space in your daily life.

It also works well as a playroom for children.

The Meaning Behind the Product Name & Logo
shiba-cocochi
As a design evoking tile carpet, it incorporates an illustration reminiscent of grass, and the characters adopt a square motif suggestive of tiles. Furthermore, to express "the way the space expands as you continue to lay more," the frame is intentionally not completely closed, creating a composition where lines overlap.
