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, ensure that no two tiles are the same, adding a layer of uniqueness to any space.
Kaji Border 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, Kaji Border is designed to enhance any space with its authentic craftsmanship, rich textures, and subtle beauty.
Superclean Grout is an Anti-Mould Grout from master ceramicists, INAX of Japan.
This grout has been developed to exceed the exacting demands for cleanliness and hygiene of the Japanese people.
Moisture and dirt penetrate into conventional cement grout, causing mould growth on the surface. Superclean Grout transforms the property of grout particles to hydrophobic, dramatically reducing the penetration of moisture into the grout and preventing the grout from holding dirt and growing mould.
It's one of the few available in Europe that passes the high standard of Anti-Stain, Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal of ISO Standard - ISO22196.

Authentic Japanese ceramic tiles for architectural and interior design projects.
Mittsu specialises in tiles made in Japan, selected for their surface depth, natural glaze variation and architectural character.
Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these tiles are not defined by printed patterns. Their colour and texture are created during firing in the kiln, producing subtle variation across the surface once installed.
Choosing a tile
Japanese tiles are typically selected for their material quality rather than a fixed visual pattern.
Variation between tiles is part of the character. Across a wall, this creates depth and movement rather than repetition.
Collections can be explored online, but most projects benefit from reviewing physical samples before final selection.
Samples
Samples allow colour, glaze movement and surface texture to be evaluated under real lighting conditions.
They are ordered directly through product pages using the sample option for each tile.
For professional projects, the Specifier Program provides access to complimentary samples and technical resources.
Availability and supply
Tiles may be supplied from local stock in the UK, Europe or UAE, sourced from Japan, or produced to order depending on the collection and project requirements.
Lead times vary accordingly and should be considered during the design stage where tiles form part of the architectural concept.
Working with Mittsu
Mittsu works directly with architects, interior designers and private clients across residential, hospitality and commercial projects.
Each enquiry is handled with a focus on material selection, availability and suitability for the intended application.
Japanese tiles are specified as materials, not finishes.
