Harmony of Heritage—YAMAGIWA × Noritake

For over 120 years, Noritake has been at the forefront of porcelain artistry, blending advanced techniques with sophisticated designs to create refined and innovative tableware. As the first Japanese company to produce a complete dinner set, Noritake has earned global recognition for its enduring contributions to the art of tableware.

Both brands are proud official licensees of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in the United States, dedicated to preserving Wright’s legacy through products that seamlessly blend traditional aesthetics with contemporary innovation. This meaningful connection has led to YAMAGIWA’s inclusion in Noritake’s exhibition, further reinforcing their aligned design philosophies.

This signature collection brings together world-renowned designers whose distinctive visions are meticulously realized through Noritake’s exceptional craftsmanship.

        The art of Japanese craftsmanship

        —Exquisite lighting rooted in tradition

        Rooted in Japan’s rich tradition of craftsmanship, artisans have long pursued perfection in every detail, combining precision, skill, and a deep respect for natural materials. Techniques such as woodworking, metalwork, glass artistry, and washi paper craftsmanship have been refined over centuries, embodying a commitment to meticulous artistry and timeless beauty.

        Building on this legacy, YAMAGIWA integrates these traditional techniques with modern innovations to create lighting that bridges heritage and contemporary design. Each piece reflects an uncompromising dedication to quality, embodying the precision and pride of "Made in Japan".
