Introducing Tanjun, a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship that embodies simplicity, elegance, and tradition. Designed by one of Mittsu’s master ceramicists, these tiles are carefully handcrafted using age-old Japanese techniques, ensuring a level of precision and artistry that sets them apart. The name Tanjun, meaning “simple” in Japanese, reflects the philosophy behind these tiles—pure, refined, and effortlessly beautiful. Each piece is a testament to the balance between tradition and modernity, bringing warmth and authenticity to any space.
Each Tanjun tile is meticulously shaped into a perfect square, a form that symbolises harmony, stability, and timeless design. They feature a soft matte finish that enhances their understated elegance, while a delicately textured surface adds depth and a natural, organic feel. This subtle texture is not only visually appealing but also provides a gentle tactile experience, making the tiles a pleasure to touch. Crafted with high-density ceramic, Tanjun tiles offer durability and resilience, making them suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
The thoughtfully curated colour palette consists of earthy, muted, and pastel tones, inspired by nature and traditional Japanese aesthetics. From warm terracottas and soft creams to calming blues and soothing greens, these versatile hues seamlessly blend into various interior styles, whether minimalist, modern, or traditional. Whether used as a bathroom wall feature, a kitchen backsplash, or an elegant statement piece, Tanjun tiles bring a quiet sophistication to any environment. Experience the harmony of handcrafted precision, where Japanese tradition meets contemporary design.

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.
