Japanese brand Muji is introducing a range of handmade homeware – including woodwork, ceramic and glass pieces – to its stores.

Named Tatazumai, the collection comprises more than 100 items designed in collaboration with six contemporary Japanese artisans.

Pieces in the collection include decorative household objects by glass artist Kazumi Tsjui, boxes and other mixed-material wares from Michiko Iwata, ceramic items by Keisuke Iwata, kitchenware from both woodworker Ryuji Mitani and ceramist Masanobu Ando, and clothing from the textile artist Akiko Ando.

"The word Tatazumai translates to appearance, shape or atmosphere, and is often used in Japan to compliment the organic, wholesome nature of a person or object," said Muji.
