Special Editions 01 JTW Collaborated with
Japanese Floral Art

YOHEN BORDER

INAX’s Japanese Tile World celebrates our adoration of nature and its beauty, integrating it into spatial design. The concept is presented in this year’s catalog under the theme of Japan’s four seasons, through a collaboration with the traditional art of flower arrangement, which displays plants and flowers with utmost elegance. Adorning the cover are YOHEN BORDER and Japanese white pine, a symbol of eternal youth and longevity. We hope you enjoy the fusion of Japanese flowers and tiles.
