Koyo Ibushi Square is a wall and floor tile handcrafted in Funatsu‑cho, Himeji by the master ceramicists at Koyo Seiga. Each tile is made using the traditional Ibushi Kawara method, where high-quality clay is slowly fired and then smoked in a reduction chamber. This process creates a natural carbon film across the surface, resulting in the signature Ibushi Silver finish. The surface carries a soft metallic sheen that responds to ambient light and matures into a deeper patina over time. Koyo’s expertise in this technique has been trusted in the restoration of significant cultural sites, including the UNESCO-listed Himeji Castle.
The Square format features a broad, clean surface with a subtle texture that plays gently with light and shadow. This quiet surface variation adds presence without distraction, making it ideal for calm, architectural compositions. The tiles are mesh-mounted for efficient installation and designed exclusively for wall use.
As with all Koyo Ibushi tiles, Square is made entirely from clay and carbon. There are no glazes, sealants, or synthetic treatments. The material’s natural microporous structure helps regulate humidity, absorb odours, resist UV and frost, and emit far-infrared radiation. These functional benefits are built into the composition of the tile itself.
Koyo Ibushi Square is well suited to interiors where scale, simplicity, and surface depth matter. Whether used in wellness environments, residential features, or refined public spaces, it brings Japanese craftsmanship and quiet strength to the forefront of architectural design.
