Kazoku

About Kazoku

Kazoku is known for hand-glazed Japanese mosaics. The glazes are applied by hand, so colour gathers at the edges of each piece and every sheet has gentle variation. It is a quiet, crafted look that suits modern, Japandi and natural interiors.

The tile range

• Hatsu: a family of hand-glazed pieces in a square mosaic, a border mosaic and a long subway, so you can tile a wall, edge it and finish a niche in one look.
• Sabi: a matt glazed mosaic for a soft, low-sheen finish.
• Sapporo Green Speckle and Osaka Speckle: finger mosaics with a fine speckle through the glaze.
• Regia: a Japanese tile series, including a metallic 25 x 25 mm mosaic.

Colours include white, cream, greens, blues and teals, wheat and mustard yellows, and earthy browns and burgundy.

Where to use Kazoku tiles

The tiles are porcelain and suit walls in bathrooms, showers, kitchens and laundries. Some designs are also rated for floors, and one carries a P4 slip rating. Use them for:

• a kitchen splashback with a simple stone or timber benchtop;
• a shower niche or feature wall;
• a curved vanity front or island, wrapped in finger mosaics;
• a powder room in a single, rich colour.

Kazoku clocks

The range also includes Japanese clocks in small, medium and large sizes: the hand-glazed Okinawa and Tohoku, and the crafted Kanto. They carry the same handmade character as the tiles and make a thoughtful accent for a kitchen or living room.
