A Regular sample is 2 tiles mounted on a sample card, a Sheet is a 30x30cm sheet of tiles from the box, held together by a paper. 

Introducing the Kaji Border tile, a remarkable creation crafted by one of Mittsu’s master ceramicists using traditional Japanese techniques. Each porcelain tile showcases the beauty of fine craftsmanship, offering a truly artisanal product. The deep, rich tones of the Koyohen tile, combined with its naturally occurring glaze variations, make it an exceptional choice for those seeking a blend of heritage and sophistication.

What sets the Kaji Border tile apart is its distinct glaze finish, which offers a mesmerising interplay of light and shadow. The glaze is carefully applied to create a dynamic, almost tactile surface that reflects its natural surroundings, enhancing the depth of each tile. This subtle texture gives the tile a multi-dimensional quality, making it not only visually appealing but also stimulating to the touch. The glaze’s variations in tone and finish—from glossy to semi-matte—ensure that no two tiles are the same, adding a layer of uniqueness to any space.

The Kaji Border tile features an intriguing and sympathetic aesthetic that’s rooted in its earthy, natural palette. Its slightly uneven texture evokes the feel of handcrafted pottery, while maintaining the durability and precision of modern ceramic work. This versatile tile is equally at home on walls or floors, providing an elegant yet timeless touch to both residential and commercial projects. Whether you’re seeking to add texture to a bathroom or bring an artistic element to a kitchen, the Kaji Border is designed to enhance any space with its authentic craftsmanship, rich textures, and subtle beauty.

Orders are shipped the same day or the next day, depending on the confirmation time.

Delivery time varies by location but is typically within  3–10 days.

How to Choose the Right Tile

• Search by name on our website.

• Browse our collections for inspiration.

Box Sizes & Pricing

Since we source tiles from multiple Japanese manufacturers, box sizes varyranging from 0.3m² to 2m². To keep things transparent, each tile page displays:

Price per square meter (for easy comparison).

Price per box (as we only sell full boxes).

For example, our Kaji Border tile costs more per box than Ka-Bu, but it covers 1.8m² per box compared to Ka-Bu’s 1m², making it a lower cost option per square meter.

Stock Availability

We stock our most popular tiles in our Dubai, UK and German warehouses.

Despite our best efforts, demand can sometimes outpace supply, so if a tile is out of stock, feel free to contact us for alternatives or restock timelines.

Pre-Orders (Stock from Japan)

For tiles not currently in our local stock, we offer three shipping options:

1. Dedicated Sea Freight; Your order is shipped individually as soon as it’s ready.
