Where to buy tatami mats in Canada?

[bionicbadger]

Anyone have any ideas?
The only 2 places I've found are:
http://www.tatamiimports.ca/contact.htm where they want $390/mat

and
http://lilin.com/

Anyone know any other places in Canada I can check?

Anyone know of anywhere else I can look?

You want the REAL Tatami mats that are like thick and heavy and cost a lot ?

I found these addesses in a NG thread on an Aikido forum. the question was asked by a user called rachmass...

A mats listing (may not be Tatamis...) :

Google stuff - but maybe not what you're looking for :
http://directory.google.com/Top/Shopping/Sports/Martial_Arts/Grappling/Judo/

This link didn't work :
http://www.mooresshoushu.com/Martial_directory/links/martialartssupplies.shtml

Also the thread said there's www.jukado.com. They have TATAMI 1MX2M DENSITY 230 at 190$ retail... These are more "martial arts" mats than "decorative on your floor at home" mats. It's in Montreal, so shipping may hurt you...

Yes. The ~10cm thick ones with borders on 2 sides, like you find at some japanese restaurants. Not the judo mats. Where do restaurants buy them?

Thanks for the links though.
