Amaterasu Gazing Round Rug - Okami Chair Mat

Amaterasu, the white wolf of Okami, stands with her muzzle lifted toward a pale gold sun, red flame streaming off her back and a bronze reflector disc hovering at her shoulder. This Okami round rug lays the scene out for the circle: she sits inside a scalloped central medallion, and a dark ink-blue field of chrysanthemums, peonies and blossom branches wraps around her.

A circle suits her. Because the wolf sits dead center, the eye lands on her from any side of the room, whether the rug is beside a bed or in front of an armchair. Round edges also soften the corners of a boxy room. Slid under a desk, it doubles as a chair mat with Amaterasu framed in the middle.

The Design: Ink, Gold and Flame

The artwork borrows the look of aged paper and gold leaf, with brushed ink outlines and soft washes instead of hard digital edges. Ivory fur and curling crimson markings carry the center, while a plume of orange flame gives the wolf a warm, moving focal point against the quiet cream sky. Swirled gold clouds drift behind her feet.

Past the medallion the palette darkens to near-black navy, and everything else glows against it. Gold chrysanthemums sit at the upper left and lower right, red peonies with sage leaves take the opposite corners, cherry blossom branches run down both sides, and two small sunbursts fill the gaps. A narrow border of red and cream blossoms closes the circle. If the brushwork speaks to you, other rugs from the Okami line carry the same ink-and-gold spirit.

Amaterasu on the Floor

The rug is cut in a true circle with a soft plush, low-pile surface that feels good under bare feet. Underneath, a non-slip rubber backing grips hard floors, so it stays put on wood, tile and laminate. It is also machine washable, and a gentle cold cycle followed by an air-dry keeps upkeep easy. The dye-sublimation print sets the colors into the fibers, which means the vermilion markings and gold clouds stay sharp instead of sitting on top as a coating. It lies flat over low-pile carpet too. The dark border and warm center suit a study, a bedroom or a game den.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) to 180 cm (70.9″), in 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm. The 80 and 100 cm sizes fit under a desk chair or beside a bed, and they make a tidy accent rug where the wolf is the only decoration. At 120 or 140 cm the medallion fills a reading nook or a corner by a console. Go to 160 or 180 cm and the piece becomes a round area rug that anchors a seating area, with the floral border reaching under the furniture.

Two quality levels are offered. Standart Level is solid everyday quality for desks, bedsides and light traffic. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing for spots that see more use.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and air-dry it; the printed colors are set into the fibers, so the gold and red hold up.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, so Amaterasu stays centered under a chair or beside a bed.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. Very deep shag is the one exception, since the edges may not sit flat there.

Which size should I choose?

Pick 80 or 100 cm for a desk or bedside, 120 or 140 cm for a nook, and 160 or 180 cm when you want the wolf and her border to anchor a room. The medallion reads clearly at every size.
