Oshu Border is a glazed porcelain tile crafted by one of Mittsu’s master ceramicists from a family-run workshop that has employed the same techniques for generations, ensuring each tile embodies a legacy of craftsmanship and precision. Each color tells a story: the standard white represents winter snow, the red symbolizes the summer sun, and the black reflects the night sky on a mid-autumn day. The gentle curved form of the Yuki Border is naturally created using split bamboo, a material deeply familiar to the Japanese people.

Oshu tiles are a testament to this heritage. Each tile features a slightly concave surface that enhances its deep texture and creates a dynamic interaction with light, giving installations a sense of movement and flow across the wall. One of the most unique features is the speckling effect present across all tiles, which is most understated on the black variation, where the deep, glossy finish holds a mysterious allure.

Each tile’s naturally colored edge adds depth and contrast to any installation, creating a visually rich, layered effect. The white variant is particularly fascinating—offering a flexible off-white shade that harmonizes seamlessly with pure white fixtures while providing a soft contrast that makes it versatile across various design palettes. Installations of Oshu in White seem to adapt to their surroundings, each project taking on its own character, making it hard to believe it’s the same tile each time.

Perfect for both commercial and residential spaces, Oshu tiles elevate any environment with their unique textures and timeless appeal, proudly carrying the mark of ceramic mastery.
