Welcome to Omotenashi

おもてなし Omotenashi (O-mo-te-na-shi) is deep-rooted in Japanese culture, and means to wholeheartedly look after guests.

It is a selfless practice which centres around care for the guest, not the expectation of receiving something in return. Hospitality and care are provided from the heart, unhidden and unprotected, a deeply respected practice. These ceramics embody the three key principles of Omotenashi: empathy, anticipation, and authenticity.

A Journey Through Japan

Omotenashi works with a range of manufacturers from time-honoured ceramic producing regions throughout Japan, culminating a storied heritage of knowledge passed through history, combined with a fresh eye from enthusiastic local creatives.
These regions are renowned not just or their craftsmanship, but their raw materials. Clay, water, sand and dyes, all with unique properties, in some cases even being exclusive to a single valley or river, make every piece in the Omotenashi range a part of a unique experience.
Our factories are amongst the most respected in Japan, and we work with a specialist quality assurance team to make sure that every piece earns its Omotenashi label.
