G2,

Didn't you know James Williams' real day job is in Hong Kong
cutting up huge tamami mats into those small pieces
so they can be sold in toy stores for doll houses?......

The mats, as you probably figured, are rolled up regular tatami (floor) mats -
water soaked (to imitate the consistency of flesh)
