Farewell note placed on floor inTokyo? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tatami
'placed on floor intokyo?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'farewell note' is the wordplay.
'farewell' becomes 'ta ta' (I've seen this in another clue).
'note' becomes 'mi' (as in 'do re mi').
'tata'+'mi'='TATAMI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tatami that I've seen before include "Japanese straw mat; a mat, it (anag.)" , "Japanese rush and straw matting" , "Jap. room matting" , "Floor-covering" , "Jap. floor mat" .)
