The Strength of Tradition: Eight Exceptional Qualities of Japanese Roof Tiles
Japanese roof tiles are renowned for their eight exceptional qualities: durability, earthquake resistance, waterproofing, fire resistance, cold resistance, weather resistance, thermal insulation, and soundproofing. Durability is an essential characteristic for roofs, as they are constantly exposed to changing weather conditions and temperature fluctuations. In earthquake-prone Japan, roofing materials with high seismic resistance are indispensable. Additionally, these tiles are designed to withstand Japan’s rainy climate with excellent waterproofing, prevent the spread of fire with superior fire resistance, and endure subzero temperatures without damage, thanks to their cold resistance.
These qualities make Japanese roof tiles an ideal roofing material, offering both comfort and safety. With a long-standing history, they have played a vital role in supporting Japanese homes and preserving their architectural integrity for generations.

Crafting Resilience: Marumi Yasuda Kawara's Legacy of Excellence Since 1840
Founded around 1840, Marumi Yasuda Kawara Industry is a heritage brand from Niigata Prefecture, known for producing high-quality roofing materials that withstand the region's harsh climate. Using reduction firing techniques to enhance strength and frost resistance, Yasuda tiles are designed to endure heavy snow, severe cold, salt damage, and strong winds—perfectly suited to the area's demanding conditions. The company offers comprehensive services, from manufacturing to installation, including roof renovations and seismic retrofitting. Extending their expertise beyond roofing, Marumi Yasuda Kawara has also developed the TSUKI tableware series. These pieces feature a striking iron-hued finish and a textured surface reminiscent of the lunar landscape. By blending tradition with innovation, Marumi Yasuda Kawara continues to enrich daily life, providing both beauty and peace of mind.
