Introducing Nigi - Where Tradition Meets Timeless Elegance.
A sample is 2 fingers
Handcrafted by one of Mittsu’s esteemed Japanese Master Ceramicists, the Nigi tile collection is a tribute to the exquisite artistry and ancient techniques that define Japanese ceramic heritage. Measuring 145x15 mm, each tile in the Nigi series offers a distinct yet harmonious blend of natural tones and intricate textures that transform spaces with an unmistakable aura of sophistication.
The glaze on each Nigi tile is a masterpiece of depth and subtlety, achieved through a meticulous process that allows for an organic variation in color and texture. The glaze has been expertly applied to reveal a natural gradation, with certain areas of the tile richer in colour and others softly muted, creating a balanced yet dynamic visual rhythm across each piece.
As light interacts with the surface, the tiles come alive, revealing a delicate interplay of granules and flecks within the glaze. These subtle details add an alluring depth, giving the tiles a sense of movement and texture that draws the eye and invites close inspection. The irregularities and slight variations in each tile reflect the hands of the master craftsman, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. This uniqueness makes each tile a small work of art, imbuing any space with a sense of warmth and character that feels both modern and timeless.
Nigi tiles are not merely a functional element; they are an expression of refined elegance, capturing the beauty of imperfection and the serenity of Japanese aesthetics. Perfect for both traditional and contemporary settings, the Nigi collection is designed to elevate interiors, whether used as a statement wall, a backsplash, or an accent that brings a touch of artisanal charm. Embrace the enduring allure of Japanese craftsmanship with Nigi – where every tile tells a story of heritage, art, and beauty.

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.
