The Story of Ceramic Japan

A collaboration between the genius of the designer and the skill of Seto
The history of Ceramic Japan began in 1973 with the establishment of a company whose aim was to create advanced designs with the traditional skill available in Seto.
From our very beginning, Ceramic Japan planned and developed products in collaboration with designers from a wide variety of fields, not only ceramics, achieving products which embodied a perfect fusion between design and skill.

Seto, the City of Ceramics
One of the world's leading producers of ceramics
Seto features a rich natural environment blessed with high quality clays, such as Kibushi and Gairome clays, and silica sand used in making glass, and this has helped Seto develop as a ceramics producing region. The region has managed to adopt mass production techniques and to adapt to the changing times, while maintaining a balance between tradition and evolution, and continues to produce products in a wide range of markets to this day.
