Nakaba – A Timeless Blend of Japanese Craftsmanship and Artistry

Nakaba is the latest addition to our exclusive tile collection, thoughtfully crafted by one of Mittsu’s renowned Japanese Master Ceramicists. Produced in the historic city of Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture — the heart of Japan’s porcelain tile production — Nakaba embodies the perfect union of tradition and modernity. Each tile is individually moulded using time-honoured methods, reflecting the rich heritage of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship and the meticulous care of a small artisan tile maker.

The production process is a testament to true artistry. The tiles are fired in a kiln using traditional techniques, where natural variations in temperature and glaze flow create organic, unpredictable textures and colours. These tiles feature a glossy, reflective finish that captures and diffuses light, imbuing spaces with a sense of depth and warmth. Subtle imperfections in the glaze, such as speckles, gradients, and pooling effects, highlight their artisanal nature and make each piece truly one of a kind.

Nakaba’s colour palette is as dynamic as its texture, offering an exquisite range of hues — from deep indigos and tranquil greens to earthy browns and creamy neutrals. Some sheets intentionally showcase wide shade variations, enhancing their raw, organic appeal. This harmonious interplay of tones and textures allows Nakaba to adapt seamlessly to various interior styles, whether you’re aiming for a contemporary statement or a traditional touch of elegance.

With its refined craftsmanship and distinctive character, Nakaba transforms walls and surfaces into works of art. Perfect for feature walls, backsplashes, or statement installations, these tiles celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the mastery of Japanese ceramic traditions. Each piece tells a story of artistry and dedication, bringing a timeless charm and individuality to your space.
